Adelaide High School Intranet



~ Smoking Assignment ~

Task:
Design a Children’s Storybook which outlines the dangers of smoking. Your book is intended to give information about the dangers and risks associated with smoking – both long and short term.

Process:

  1. You will need to complete some basic research to help in the planning and completion of this storybook.
  2. You are advised to use more than one source for your research so as to gain a better understanding of your topic.
  3. You should document all sources of information that you used by compiling a bibliography. A Bibliography Template and a Webliography Template (for Internet resources) can be downloaded off the Intranet.
  4. Before attempting the final book, spend some time planning it by constructing a rough copy which outlines where the drawing/pictures/text will go.
  5. The book is to be word processed using a desktop publishing program to give it a professional finish.

Storybook requirements:
Your book must include the following elements:

  1. An illustrated and coloured front cover which contains the title of the book and the author’s name.
  2. Short sentences on each page which relate to the topic. Keep these sentences brief as it is a children’s book. You must not use dot points.
  3. Coloured illustrations on each page to support the storyline.
  4. A humorous storyline that still gets across the message of the dangers/risks of smoking. A back cover which has a ‘blurb’ which tells the reader what the book is about.

Resources:
Use the Smoking Pathfinder to find relevant resources.
