The growing displays of artwork by individual classes take the form of “galleries.” Each class gets a section of the back wall in the classroom. Any other classes not yet doing stories of their own beg to get their own creative process going, and it is when the first gallery is posted that the interclass rivalries begin.
In the gallery images, some teachers choose to add the names of the characters directly onto the One Word Image drawings created by the artists.
When space is no longer available for drawings as the year goes on, I don’t take the drawings down but tape them on top of each other to the extent possible. Students enjoy taking a few minutes in between classes to reminisce about characters from stories done earlier in the year.
There is one other place where these drawings appear – on the class website after the Reveals.
