Mentor Author/Illustrator- Eric Carle

Throughout the last couple of weeks, we have been reading and learning about the authors Eric Carle and Bill Martin Jr..  The students were able to write their own books modeled off of Eric Carle's "Brown Bear, Brown Bear" series.  We read all the versions.
Together we decided to write a book similar to Mr. Carle's book.  We decided we would write about all different types of polar animals.  Take a look at some of our writing. 
This week we will begin learning about the editing process.  We will rewrite our books and get feedback from our peers.  In addition, we will be learning about Eric Carle's illustration process and students will get to create a cover for their book using his techniques.  
I hope you're looking forward to reading/seeing your students work at our next open house!
Mrs. Julie Atkin
