Draw More Alligator Pie Shapes and Lines | Part 2 In this fun, interactive drawing class, learners will be introduced to “Lammy “ a stuffed toy who appears as a character inside the book, "Alligator Pie" written by Dennis Lee. As we read the book, students will count the number of times she and other characters appear. This will familiarize learners with what colours were used and plan their colouring page. Then we’ll explore the new mystery shape, and play a drawing game as in the previous class. I’ll add more shapes and lines to it until it becomes something recognizable. Students can draw along with me on their copy. We’ll repeat the drawing game again with same shape, except turned upside down, and around, until the class concludes. Before we say goodbye, everyone chooses their favourite drawing and shows it to the class for comments. When class concludes, learners can continue to draw on their shape print out, and colour the four characters (see colouring images_PDF).
Learning Goals
The learning goal is to discover and apply imagination through a drawing game. Also, exploration of characters in the story.
