Writers' Workshop- Bookmaking

The students have been very busy writing and illustrating a wide variety of books. We have been studying illustration techniques and discussing our decisions as authors and illustrators. We have been exploring motion, color, perspective and end paper designs. This month, we have been focusing on the work of Jan Brett. She has a fabulous website with many activities, interactive games and videos.
