2. Develop readers’ aids (folios/folio tabs, color, labels headlines) that will help the reader find material.

3. Create a whole book link that extends the theme through the sections.

4. Is there a specific organization of the content within the sections that is dictated by the theme? If there is, plan this organization.

5. Develop new story ideas for each section.
