Animated Story
Hello Tuscany ! Remember- this is optional!
This is one of my very favorite stories by Eric Carle. Notice all the beautiful artwork in the story. Eric Carle is very talented.
After listening, it would be fun to create your own Days of the Week book with your own creature. Maybe ants? Maybe spiders? Your own idea? You could be the artist and also add some words!
Materials if making own book:
1. Paper for book
2. Pencil for first draft - always do your first work in pencil and color after
3. Eraser - just in case!
4. Coloring tools
5. Stapler to staple the pages together
Process:
1. write the day of the week at the top of each page
2. decide what creature you will use
3. choose what the creature will eat on each day, on day 1 it eats 1 item, on day 2 it eats 2 items, etc.
4. decide where you will write your words on your page
5. draw your picture for each day
6. color your picture - keeping clear the place for words
7. add your words.
8. choose a title for your story and design a title page to add on top of the first page of the story
9. add a page at the end to say - the end!
