If you are an art teacher you know about Harold, his purple crayon and his great imagination.
If you don't know take a few minutes to watch this video (http://www.teachertube.com/viewVideo.php?video_id=147571)
This year I decided to use Harold as an intro. for my 5th graders to line. We watched the video and then they created books about their summers... using nothing but lines.

| I love that this student made his book goes vertically! |
They also had to write a 2 paragraph summary of what they did the summer that they will be typing up during keyboarding class. They had to write them during art/study hall but Mrs. Polodna is awesome enough to work with them on typing them up and using google drive to "turn them in to me."
This is great! I'm starting a unit with 5th grades on Children's Illustrated books. This would be a wonderful way to slide in slowly to the big project. (We are going to submit them to the Scholastic Kids are Authors Contest)
