Authors and illustrators abound!

The big wide-mouthed frog story was such a hit with the grade 2's that we decided to write our own versions of the story.

I arranged the class into groups. Each group decided on the animals that they wanted to include in the story and who would write each part.

 We had discussed the style of writing and how to go about writing each part. So it was with much excitement that my class sat down to write their chapter.

Caleb wrote the last part of the story where the frog meets a lion.
 Ebrahim wrote about the frog meeting a dinosaur!

Alka decided on a rhino for the frog to meet.

The frog met a cheetah in Angelo's part of the story.

The frog meets a rabbit and a horse in Rhea and Neeshals version.

Mikhaeel wrote the beginning of the story
and designed the cover for his group.

Once it was written, each child was responsible to illustrate their page. When everyone was finished we compiled our books. What a fantastic effort each child made! We are looking forward to reading our stories to the grade 1's next week.

Some completed pages. Zeenath chose a swan as the
animal  that the frog met. He met a zebra in Ohuhle's
story and a lizard in Jaden's. Jessica designed the cover.

 The authors and their completed books!
