In this episode, I’m working on a book all about computers. First, I wrote an introduction to tell everyone what my book is about. Then, I wrote different sections for each part of my topic. Now, it’s time to write the closing part of my book.

Closing Hunt: With the help of an adult, find a few children’s books at home or in the library. Look at the last page or paragraph of each book to find the closing.

Closing Art: Draw a picture that represents the closing of a book you like. Think about the main ideas and what the book taught you. Use your drawing to explain to someone else how the book ended and what you learned from it. This will help you remember the important parts of the book!
