Program Description
What do you get when teachers and a published author-illustrator collaborate? Students who come away with hands-on fun that boosts literacy and enriches curriculum with results that they can take home. The structure of children's picture book making is a treasure trove of teaching materials which encourages students to participate in all parts of the process as they write stories they can see and draw. First, specific word prompts are given which must be used in the story. Then, fold and number first draft prototype books using the printer’s formula to explore narrative arc and pacing to build the story. Finally, integrate the use of these writing prompts and visual tools by learning how to critique each other's work. Melanie Hope Greenberg is an author and a widely published illustrator of 17 trade published picture books. Greenberg’s visual interactive workshops are best suited for PreK through 5th Grade. Greenberg’s MERMAIDS ON PARADE was selected by Brooklyn Public Library for their ‘125 Essential Brooklyn Booklist’ Supplies needed: Blank copy paper, pencils, erasers. Handouts given
