Materials
colored paper, scissors, glue
Distribute colored paper, and explain that students will create new shapes for their covers. Encourage children to be inventive in cutting shapes from their imagination, in addition to cutting shapes with names. Redistribute collected work from previous lesson. Allow students to go back to finish or add to previous work, in addition to creating cover art.
Circle around a large work table or carpet and have a student arrange his/her work in sequence. Ask:
- What colors and shapes did you use for the cover?
- What shapes did you combine to create your letter?
- Are these used in any of the other pictures in the story?
- Does anyone see where shapes overlap?
- How does the cover provide hints about what is inside the book?
