My First Work Sheets.

One of the assignments for my Development of Language and Literacy class, is to write a Authors Study paper based on a children book author and then create two work stations with activities that focus on word study and comprehension. Below are two work sheets I made based on the book Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth.

Template for Pop Up Book

In class today, my Professor asked me to create a "pop up book page" for the class to see. She gave me a hand out with a basic overview on how to make the page.

1. Fold a piece of paper.
2. Cut a "tab" in the middle on the fold.
3. Fold "tab" in opposite direction
4. Glue on tab a character.

On my way home from class I was brainstorming ideas and came up with a simple panda in a tree and pop up panda and baby. Since this is for a language development class I added some lines for a student to make up a story of what is going on in the picture.

Almost complete. I didn't know I had construction paper, so I started re-doing it collage style.
