Learning Target
Students will continue work on their picture book by beginning to create their illustrations. and assemble their book.
Work Session
Welcome back, everyone! Today you guys are back in your groups to start creating your illustrations. You can use any medium you would like, and I can provide markers or crayons for you. When you do your illustrations, you should make sure you only color on ONE SIDE of the pages, and make sure to leave a half-inch on the side that will be part of the book binding. I’ll demonstrate this all for you in class. When you finish your illustrations, we will glue your two pieces together so they create the front and back of the pages. We want to do this separately, though, in case a.) you mess one side up and don’t want to ruin the other, and b.) the markers may bleed through.
Like I said, I’ll go over this all in detail in class, but just make sure you follow these guidelines and you will have a beautiful picture book by the end of the week!!
Closing Session
