Miss Alison read the story twice without showing us the illustrations. The first time, we listened with our eyes closed. The second time we listened and drew pictures of what were were visualizing using...a purple crayon! Finally Miss Alison showed us the illustrations when she read us the story for a third time. We enjoyed comparing our illustrations with those in the book. We discussed the similarities and differences using the key concept "perspective".
We have been practicing "creating images" as a strategy for understanding what we read. Harold and the Purple Crayon is a beautiful story about a little boy who draws himself a landscape using only a purple crayon and his imagination.

Sorry that you missed it Aran! You were in Malaysia when we read the story. If you'd like to read the book it's available in our unit book basket.
