Goal: to use drawings to illustrate a story. Each day, students will make a drawing that illustrates a story that they read or have written. This could be a small series of tales or legends or myths. It could be stories that they wrote about events or activities in their lives, or from books they are reading. The drawings will then be bound into a book.
This could be a collaborative project with a writer or poet.
