|| ** LOW TECH Idea: ** Use this Microsoft Word Template: [|7-Jewel Case Poem Template.dot] or the on-line tool at //**Read, Write and Think**// (link to the right) and allow the students to type their poems and print them on the printer. When they are done printing them, they can use the lines to cut the finished poem out and put in the CD Case. (take off the top half and place upside down on the bottom half) || **MS Word Template for CD Cover

** || ** NO TECH Idea: ** Use a paper punch to add two holes a couple of inches from the top and bottom of paper that is laid out landscape style. Use a rubberband and a pencil to bind the book. (you can also use the plastic combs if your school has access to these) || **Card stock, paper, paper punch, pencil, rubberband** ||
