Become An Author/Illustrator! Residency

Mark Stankiewicz explains and demonstrates the process of writing and illustrating a children’s book. 

Students begin by listening to his original story “HIC” about a boy who can’t get rid of the hiccups.  Mark shows the class his mock-up of the illustrations for the book and they discuss what is involved in writing and illustrating a book

Students will write a story and illustrate it, using the techniques they learned, creating a children’s book of their own.

The culmination of the residency may be a visit to younger grades where they will read their books to the children.  Length of residency depends on the complexity of the project.
