It is with pride that we introduce… (tan-ta-na-nan!!!)
Sunny Tree!
This is her initial character sketch:
This is Sunny Tree (done in three!)
Although the sketch itself was done in three minutes – preparations surely had to be done.
brainstorming using a semantic map
Gelay and teacher Beepsie did this in partnership. We just wrote and wrote and wrote. After all, that is the secret of brainstorming. (What is it, Gelay? “Don’t think!!!!!”) Then I left Gelay alone to fine tune her content (what she wants to talk about) and the form (how she wants to say what she wants to say).
The pen with the purple ink is Gelay’s.
The pen with the green ink is teacher Beepsie’s.
Gelay! Now I need you to develop Sunny Tree to the fullest! Who is she? What does she like doing in her spare time? What’s her favorite color? Who (among her pets) is her best friend? What’s her favorite expression?
Then we’d be ready for the surprise!
