Greenbrier is very fortunate to have author and illustrator Ethan Long come for an author visit next week. Third grade students were inspired by his book The Croaky Pokey!. Students looked closely at the way Long includes onomatopoeias in his illustrations. Students also looked at how artist Roy Lichtenstein uses onomatopoeias in his art. His art may not explicitly show the action, however from the use of an action sound, the viewer begins to predict what created the sound. How does the inclusion of text in illustrations help the reader understand what is going on in the story? Students thought through this question when creating their own action drawings.
