In this lesson we learned about Eric Carle whom was a famous author/illustrator who created many different stories about animals. For this project we had to create an animal with construction paper and then layer different kinds of patterns on it. We were given different outlines of animals and we got to pick which ones we wanted to complete. We were split into groups and each group had a specific color they could use. My group had black and we had to use different patterns throughout the animal. This is a fun activity that students would enjoy because they are free to chose their animal and make it their own plus write about the animal to make it unique.
An extension activity could splitting the students into groups and have them write and create a short skit about their animals that they created. This not only allows for them to work together but also works on other important skills.
