In the Deep, Deep Jungle…
In
April, the children began writing a story about animals in the jungle. We
decided we would continue to work on this story and make it into a book. We
discussed how when books are being written and published, the story goes through
many processes before it is complete. As we continued the story, we reread and
edited our story. The children decided which parts of the story they wanted to
keep, and which details needed elaboration. We also discussed needing
illustrations for the book. The children first drew their animals and bugs on
paper. Next, they used various loose parts to make their characters
three-dimensional. Images of these characters will be transformed into the
illustrations for our book. As the children continue to finish their
characters, they also continue to work on editing their story.
