Gail Gibbons will be the focus of our Writer’s Workshop.  She is an author and  illustrator who writes nonfiction (informational/explanatory texts). Gail has written over 100 books on a variety of interesting topics. Her books center on her curiosity and desire to know “why?”  She uses colorful illustrations and text features that help the reader gain a clear understanding of each topic.  As we explore her mentor texts, the students will learn how Gail uses her life experiences and observations to generate ideas for writing.  This will help inspire the students as they select topics for their own writing. It will be exciting to share the children’s interests.
