*Booklets are used when you have a lot to say about something!
*Booklets have at least 5 pages (3 says beginning, middle, end and doesn't encourage enough middle)
*Can introduce using booklets to the whole class using a students work that needed more space, individual students as they are ready for it, or using your teacher journal to show needing more space
*Mini-lesson on asking what happens next to keep the story focus and getting all the details
*Remember to encourage students to use whichever medium is best for their story
*Model, model, model procedures when introducing new materials
