Children's Story Draft: Today is the day!

Please share a draft of your story for your children's book in a New Post on your blog by the end of class today.  You can make changes later, but push yourself to get something posted today so we can do peer reviews tomorrow and begin construction of the books by the end of the week.  At the end of your post, add a sentence or two detailing your plan for illustrating the book--are you going to draw on the pages yourself?  Find images online? Create images on the computer?  Have fun with it.  If you're planning to have a graphic design student illustrate your book, please have a storyboard with a plan for each pages' text and image ready by the end of class Thursday.

Try this mapping technique for ideas.  Or this one.

Your journal is due with YOUR COMPLETED STORYBOARD and a total of 20 new pages on THURSDAY (no school Friday!).

Have a great week!
