Text Features

Once you have finished your Works Cited page, you are ready to add text features to your book!

Remember, text features are more than just "pictures" that you like. The text feature needs to be related to the chapter where you place it. For example, if you are doing a book on Golden Retrievers, you need to have more than just pictures of cute dogs. In a chapter about grooming a Golden Retriever, you could have pictures of grooming supplies. This is the time to make your research and information "pop" in a visual way.

These are your options for text features:

  • Charts
  • Graphs
  • Maps
  • Diagram
  • Timeline
  • Text box
  • Picture with caption

**Note: If you choose to put a picture in your book, you must have a caption to explain the picture.   The picture with caption will only count as one text feature.**


You will need to have at least two text features per chapter

Also, there will need to be at least three different text features used in the overall book
