Happy Friday! The eleventh book assignment is When Pencil Met Eraser by Karen Kilpatrick and Luis O. Ramos, Jr.

 I love the story of Pencil and Eraser.  What begins as a tumultuous relationship, returns into a beautiful friendship! Today we’re going to create a beginning, middle, ending flipbook.  It’s a lot easier than it sounds.  Look at the pictures below.  Start by folding a piece of paper hotdog style.  While still hotdog, fold it into three equal(ish) parts.  Instead of unfolding the whole thing, just unfold the 3 parts so you’re hotdog again.  Cut the fold on just the top layer, leaving the bottom layer whole.  Unfold each flap and trace the fold lines.  Again, it’s easier than it sounds. I promise! 

On the front of the top flap write the letter “B” for beginning.  On the middle flap write the letter “M” for middle. On the bottom flap, write the letter “E” for ending.  Whew! Now you’re ready to work!

Unfold the B flap and write a sentence or two about what happened in the beginning of the book.  Unfold the M flap.  Write a sentence or two about what happened in the middle of the story. Unfold the last flap, the E flap.  Yep, you guessed it. Write a sentence or two about what happened at the end of the story.   

 

*Extension activity- Add a few details to each flap and write a summary of the story in your own words.    

**To integrate art illustrate, flip your flipbook over on the back.  Illustrate each section with your pencil and eraser!  Try using your eraser to help make the picture!
