Quickly and easily create hardcover books
from your students’ very own stories!
Easy and free to create an
account
Begin your project by
entering your class
information.
Once your account is created and your
project is started…
• Upload .pdf documents to use as pages in your book.
(Scan pages of student stories as .pdf, then upload).
• Students can use the project ID (automatically
generated when the project is started) to create pages
directly online.
• Once the book is complete, they can be printed in
hardcover book form (for a fee), and mailed to you.
How can this benefit a 3rd grade classroom?
• Students will be excited to write a story, knowing it will
be a “real” book.
• By writing a story, students will be able to create
characters, develop a sequence of events, and bring the
story to a close – all in a fun way.
• Allows teachers to easily incorporate technology into an
ELA lesson plan.
Activity Idea…
Narrative Paragraph
• Students will be given a worksheet to help brainstorm an idea.
The worksheet will include prompts such as, “Event,” “Where,”
“When,” and “Details.”
• Once the worksheet is filled out, students will use those ideas
to create a narrative paragraph describing the event they
chose.
• Once the paragraph is completed, students will use
www.Lulujr.com and their paragraph to create a story book
with pictures, to be printed in hardcover.
