"How to Draw" Books

What Do Illustrators Do? by Eileen Christelow is recent story in our anthology which chronicles the process illustrators follow from "dummy " sketches through to the published book. This story was a perfect application for applying the comprehension strategy of sequencing. The boys and girls also chose a drawing to "How To" and published their own detailed, six step "doodle" book. Each student had their own doodle topic -- check out this impressive list below!

How to Draw ..... frog, double star, smiley face Red Sox Fan, pig, dog, running pencil, violin, erupting volcano, turtle, Massachusetts, globe, sun, hockey stick and puck, tree, flower, fish, "Eye Grow", Snowman, Tow Truck, Stick Person, Tree House.
