Ms. Paula Tromp and Ms. Paulette Jones of Your Time Publishing, LLC (YTP) met with third grade students Alex Devlin, Kevin Hagans, Olivia Guerra and Tylah Washington from the International School of Louisiana (ISL) earlier this month to discuss possible publication of their books. Last year, the third grade students wrote books in Spanish and French. All students in the second grade at the International School of Louisiana write a book as part of ISL's "Our Book Project" program. They write, edit, proof and design the illustrations of their very own book.
YTP created a lesson plan to teach the students about traditional publishing practices and will also teach about some of the new business models such as POD, video, e-books, and audio.
