Do Now: Imagine you were looking out of the window from an airplane. Draw what you see. 

For our next author/illustrator, we are studying Laura Vaccaro Seeger. 

We read "Black? White! Day? Night!", a book of opposites. Seeger uses bright color and a series of cut outs and flaps. We spent today beginning a 2day project of a Seeger-inspired flap book of opposites. 

After brainstorming our own list of opposites, students received a large piece of white paper, folded in half. They chose their own pair of opposites, and set to work illustrating the first part. The trick is to be able to visualize both pictures in order to plan where the cut out will be. 

Most students are not finished yet, but take a look at what we have so far!
