David Shannon Author Study {Part 4}

May 21, 2014 by Mary Amoson 2 Comments

 Alice the Fairy
Our David Shannon Author Study moved focus to the importance of illustrations today.
I read the book Alice the Fairy to my class.
BUT… 
I didn’t let them look at the pictures.
I asked them to lay out on the carpet and keep their eyes closed.
 
{Here is what I got… that didn’t show student faces!}
Then, we draw a picture to show what we IMAGINE Alice looks like
using the words they heard and the images in their minds.
This is what I imagine Alice the Fairy to look like
Next I read Alice the Fairy to my class… showing them the illustrations.
This changes everything!
We discover that Alice isn’t really a fairy at all…
Alice is just a girl who plays pretend.
Now, we return to our papers and draw another image of what
the illustrations SHOW us Alice looks like:
This is what Alice the Fairy actually looks like.
 We also played the reading comprehension game to review
all those common core skills that my kids RUN to
and ask to play over and over again!

 Our day can’t be complete without making Alice.
 {Check out her shoes and crown!!!
LOVE
My class asked for a crown for her… how can I say no to that?}
I redid the patterns for Alice and uploaded the changes into the Art Projects file for you guys.
In fact, I redid ALL the templates for the art projects
to make them printer friendly and more efficient for you guys,
MAKE Alice the Fairy with your class!
 Here are come of my student examples of their completed pages for their
Author Study book they are creating.
