Young Authors and Illustrators

My students have been creating their own books this week. We've studied several authors, including Eric Carle and Kevin Henkes. The students have created Noticings Charts to list craft techniques used by these authors, and now they are trying to incorporate some techniques into their own writing. Wow!

Check out some of their books!

Repetition: "Yes yes yes hey let's go play play play"

   

Thought Bubbles: "This is awesome"

    

 

Conversation: Mom-"Come to school now"

                       Boy-"But Mom"

                       Mom-"Come to school"

What awesome writers!
