Your Book

Should have your name and the date in it somewhere. On the front cover, on the back cover, first page, last page, wherever, just don't forget to put it in there. The date can just be the year or Spring 2008. You also should give credit to whoever wrote the poem that you are using. You can say something like "Words By: So-and-so, Images By: Me!"
