Writers Workshop
A group of students gathered to look at a range of books written by some of their favourite authors. There was a discussion about how writers create books. While browsing through the books they noticed that:
- there were pictures on the cover
- the pages had pictures and words
Cornelis “The person who draws the pictures is the illustrator.”
Teacher “Can we become authors too?”
The students began to brainstorm ideas for their books. They drew inspiration from some of their favourite characters and interests.
- princesses
- fast cars
- Star Wars
- Frozen Lego
- car races
They began to put their ideas down on paper to retell their own stories. Some were scary and others entertaining.
