The bunch began by re-examining Eric Carle's art very closely. Then they went out to create the brown, white and yellow paper they would need for their collage. This part consisted of mixing and applying lots of tempera, then scratching it with a variety of tools for texture. Next day the bunch cut out shapes to create a collage of a bald eagle. They also squeezed in a mini-vocabulary lesson by describing to me all the ways their eagles could be in action: swooping, soaring, perching, hunting, etc.!
