1. In week 3 we began an author study about Pamela Allen. We read three books written by Pamella Allen and we compared them

2. 1M compared 3 Pamela Allen books. We found some similarities and some differences and placed them on a Venn Diagram. -A large tree Mr McGee was hurt. -Rhyming - Animals -1 person -Mr -Cross hatch shading -water naked

3. Danni, a parent from 1HF came to teach us how to sketch like Pamela Allen. She showed us how to shade using cross hatching and then she showed us how to make things have a 3-D effect and texture by gradually shading with crayons.

4. We looked at the style of shading that Pamela Allen uses often in her illustrations and tried out those techniques.

5. We really listened to her and then tried out her ideas. Wow...who knew we were so skilful!
