For this project, we first watched a video about Eric Carle and the storybooks he creates. After the video, we created a two page story layout. To begin this project, we painted on 12 X 8 sheets of paper different colors and textures in order to create different scenes. Then, we drew images or characters that we wanted our story to be based on, and cut out the pieces. We used these pieces as a guide to trace the characters on to the textured painted paper we did earlier. To finish the project, we glued the textured pieces on to a 12 X 8 sheet of construction paper to create our story layout. Once we had everything placed where we wanted it we then added a sentence about the illustration to make the story look complete.
An extension activity would be to have students read a book for a literature class, and once they have completed the book, they could pick a part of the book and illustrate or retell that part of the story by making a collage like the ones we did based on Eric Carle.
This is a picture of the storybook page I created. It is about Peaches, the duck, and Violet, the lamb.
