Create a classroom version of A Family Is a Family Is a Family by having students write and illustrate their own pages. Working with an adult if necessary, have students compose a sentence or two describing what makes their family special. Have them illustrate their description with a drawing that shows their family doing something they love. Break students into small groups to discuss their pages with each other. Have students add details and revise their work based on their classmates’ suggestions. Scan and print out copies of the final pieces to create a customized edition of the book. Have a group reading where each student gets to read their own page.
