Great ideas often arise from spontaneous comments. After author/illustrator Nick Bruel read aloud his humorous book, Who is Melvin Bubble?, and conducted an interview with a first grader, several other first graders proclaimed, "I wish that someone would write a book about me!" Hence the idea for this fun project:
The First Graders wrote autobiographies in the style and format of Mr. Bruel's humorous story which introduces a six-year-old boy from the perspective of his family, friends and others. The final self-portraits were done in computer class with Ms. Mercado using the program Kid Pix.
The autobiographies have been on a book tour, appearing at the all Lower School Publishing Party and now each class will have a turn to be on display in the 701 Library.
So, Who is...?
