On Wednesday, November 18, Patton School was visited by author and illustrator Ethan Long. In two presentations, one for K-2, and one for grades 3-5, Mr. Long shared the process of creating a book, showing students how their ideas in one brainstrorming session could eventually become a story. He asked students to choose one animal, and its name and then proceeded to draw their ideas. He also shared his lastest creation in "book dummy" form, which is a collaboration between his drawings and words for one character, and another illustrator's drawings for the other character. We are grateful to the PTA for bringing students another opportunity to learn about and even watch the writing process live and in person!
