WHAT IS AN ALTERED BOOK?!?
Here's a sneak preview of some Year 7's starting on their altered books for their Pop Fiction project!

First they cover a secondhand book with coloured paper, then decorate the cover with drawings, add a title in big neat writing and then inside they cover each page with an activity about To love Veronica Bee. Here's examples of activities students have already made:
A maze: help Veronica find her way from Yarra Valley to Kew
Crack the code: solve the email abbreviations that Veronica and Suzie write to each other
Spot the difference: difference between Veronica in picture 1 and picture 2
Wordsearch: find the words and names of places in To love Veronica Bee

cool eh? Click on 'MORE' to check out more pics of Year 7's working on their altered books & creating awesome activity pages!!!
hehe Click on 'COMMENT' and tell us about an activity that you just made!

Here's some wicked computer action! It's a student typing up his short story about where he'd ride off to if a Unicorn came to take him away (just like Veronica's first wish!).

“William wake up you have to stop daydreaming in class don’t you get any sleep now its time for i.t.” said mr Del.ia. “you mean bed time” I said. “lets go now you don’t wont to be late do you” said mr Del.ia. “yes I do” I said. Later “Hay joe u wont 2 c something funny “I said. “yep” said joe.
So I typed killing **** and before you can say holy moly I was sucked in to the computer and I was in a different world a world where everything is free.first I got a unicorn which was white. then I got a land mine. I put the land mine my unicorn was on one I was on the other

this is what happend to me when i was on a unicorn just like veronica bee

My trap door is a window.
On Friday I was sitting at my desk and Mr. Zimmer said to open your book of Veronica bee so we can read it as a class. Mr. Zimmerman came over and said “where is your veronica bee book” I said “I don’t have one!” so I went over to the window. “Now what are you doing” I said “I am going to jump out the window.” So I did. The fluffy purple unicorn flow up and got me. The fluffy purple unicorn said “where are you taking me? I will take you some where that you will like.” “Like where,” I said? “Wait and you will find out.” “I want to go to a candy store. I was dreaming about what had happened if I did go to a candy store.” “We are there,” said the purple fluffy unicorn. I saw other people there and unicorns”. I got off my unicorn and walked over to a shop full of candy. I walked into the shop and I started to eat candy the fluffy purple unicorn didn’t know where I was. I was thinking about if I eat 2 much what would happen 2 me? “Well I guess you might get fat,” said someone behind me. I said, “who’s that?” The voice said “Kim”. “Hi, my name is Tash. “How long have u been here? She asked. “Not long,” I said, “I got here just not long ago. Well I better get going so I can finish my adventure through the candy land world”. So I went to the next shop. I was about to open the door when I heard a voice say “wait for me”. Could it b Kim or not? I went to open the door but the door was locked. “So Kim, where do u want to go now?” I said. “I don’t care,” said Kim, “I am here with my unicorn”. “I want more candy wot about you Kim u want more candy? “I’d love some more candy,” said Kim. I won’t say no 2 candy well I guess I better go now I have 2 find my unicorn if u wait I’ll help you find your unicorn”. “Ok then. My unicorn is a purple and fluffy. Wait.” I said. “I can’t go with out any candy because I came here for an adventure to get candy. I am going to go back to get some candy. I got four bags full of candy. I have to go and find my unicorn now. Well I guess u came here on a unicorn to”. “Yes I did,” said Kim. “There’s my unicorn it’s in a fight with another unicorn”. Kim and I went over to see what happened but no one would tell us. “Are u ok?” I said to my unicorn? “I could be better”, I said. “Well I guess u are ready to take me home now so I can go to bed for school tomorrow”. “Well I thought you where having fun eating all the candy”. “I was,” I said. “But I do have to go to school some day. I guess so. See you tomorrow Kim at school. Take me home to my bed I said. I will at least be anther 20 to 30 minutes before we get home. I was feeling so sick that I wanted to puke all over u”. “Did u have fun pigging out on the candy?” said the purple fluffy unicorn. “I did. How long are we from my place?” “About 5 minutes away now”. “Good because I am going to be sick”. “Well there now that’s good. By now thank u for taking me to the candy world”. “I wish we can do it anther time soon?” “Yeah, why not said the fluffy unicorn”. I got into my p.j.s and I hoped into bed. “I am going to the toilet because I am going to be sick and I did. I told my mum that I was sick. Guess what? Mum said, “u are not going to school tomorrow”. “But mum I need to go to school tomorrow”. “No u are not going to school and I mean that”.
Well I guess that was it for my adventure through the candy world and that was it for my adventure.

In the book Veronica’s first wish was to fly away on a unicorn so we wrote a story about us wanting to fly away like Veronica. Everyone in our class had to do one. I did mine as a girl who doesn’t like music, so she goes to her locker and went through the back; she ended up in an up side down world. She went to shops to ask where she was but she didn’t get an answer. She started to feel very dizzy and light headed, so she wanted to go back to school, so she had to find the hole she came through. At the end she said she will never go anywhere like that again.

In my activity “Spot the difference” I drew two bees. I drew the two bees in fluorescent colours. I added a few different things to the second bee. So now if you look in my scrap book you can spot 5 differences

I’m working on a puzzle page for my altered book.
I’ve taken a paragraph or 2 from the book To Love Veronica Bee and turned it into a game. You have to look in the book and find the missing words and fill the gaps in.
LOL
