Here is the backstory of this planet and it all begins with the Lorg (which means flower). Long ago, there was a flower that had glowing particles around it like a magical creature. It was medium sized and had every possible color you could think of on it. But most people saw it as its normal form with pink and purple all around it. No one knew the name of this flower; it was just referred to as the ‘magical flower’. There was a girl named Azalea. She had lived in a beautiful village called The Rain Lands. Everyone had lived in it for years and it was a popular place to visit. It had trees surrounding it like a guarding fence around a special building. And a sweet smell like cotton candy. Its treetops were as fluffy as the clouds. The girl felt isolated and knew there was more to life than where she was right now. She heard of this flower and wanted to find it. The girl decided at night she would go off and venture into a new place. At night, she ran like a giant was chasing her. She ran with her whole heart. Hoping to find something new. She found a ship and took off into the Stapplio galaxy. While she was running away, she found a small puppy. Its eyes were as bright as the sun. It looked lost and happy to find someone new. She took it with her to find a new place. A new home. As she steered the ship for days she saw a tiny pink, purple and blue planet. Its surface colors were mixed together like a marble. She immediately went forward, she needed to find out what this was. She finally landed and found it was a beautiful place. She decided to look around and at last she knew this was her new home. She found a tiny glowing “lorg.” She looked over and found the magical lorg that everyone was talking about. She was so happy. She knew what its name was going to be. Azalea.
Hi. This is the intro of a book I made using my imagination. This book is for an LA project. My class read a book called The Last Cuentista. It’s an awesome book. In fact, I recommend this book to anyone who loves science fiction. I would give a summary but that would spoil the book. Anyways, just like how the book had this Sagan, we had to make our own planet.
The process was fun. We got to use our creativity and imagination when creating this book. My planet’s name is Azalea. It’s named after my favorite flower. Azalea has lots of landmarks, candy food, animals and wildlife. Honestly, if I could go to Azalea I would. It’s an amazing place.
Then after our creative writing process, we had to make the actual book. (Fun fact: all of the books are made out of paper and compostable materials.) We brought in plants to make colorful patterned paper. We used a paint press, paint and a roller. It was so fun. Then we used a big sheet of paper to use as a base for our book. And added our own designs, landmarks and important objects in our book. We finally put the text on the book. And………BOOM! The planet books were alive.
I hope you try making one of these books. Trust me, you won’t regret it.
