Nine Month Miracle Book

Nine Month Miracle Book

You have been asked to write a “how to” book for expectant parents. This purpose of your book is to give the new parents a brief idea of what changes will happen to mom and baby during each month of pregnancy. You will use a combination of information provided in the power point at: pattymartinswsd.wikispaces.net and web sites that you have found. You will need to include a minimum of 5 facts about mom and 5 facts about baby each month. How you choose to present the information is completely up to you and your originality and creativity.

Each month should include information on changes happening to mom, how the baby grows, a picture of baby, the weeks included in each month as well as all vocabulary words. Information needs to be in complete sentences with a consistent format from month to month.

The “catch” to this project is that you only have 2 days to complete the book. You must work hard for the two days to complete this project or you will not finish the book. You will not be given additional time, all work must be completed in the class and cannot be copied or duplicated in someone else’s book. Each book must be unique.
