This is an activity for making an ABC book for a class field trip or class activity, but could be modified for any type of ABC book. It includes instructions, a grading rubric, and a gist sheet (or graphic organizer) for a rough draft ABC book. The actual ABC book is then constructed on readwritethink.org. The document is in word and prints on legal sized paper, but can be reduced if needed. I used this with 5th graders after our class field trip, but it can be used with any middle grade level. The rubric is constructed for 5th, 6th, 7th grade levels.

You are welcome! We've used this for our 5th grade field trip. The kids really enjoy it. We've modified it to fit different groups and to fit into various time constraints through the year. Let me know if you have any questions or if there are any things you would like me to add!
