We have joined the NZreadaloud group on Edmodo this term. Our first book is the wonderful picture book "Fuzzy Doodle" written by Melinda Szymanik and illustrated by Donovan Bixley.
We have been exploring the poetic devices and figurative language the author has used. The author has used the life cycle of a caterpillar as a metaphor for the creative process of writing a book.
Here are some of our "Fuzzy Doodle Life Cycles" we created to share with our Edmodo groups.
