SCRANIMALS: Second Graders were inspired by the illustrations from Jack Prelutsky's book "Scranimals." Students established a formula for a Scranimal: Animal + Object. Next, students randomly chose an animal and an object, came up with a funky name for it, drew each separately in a composition, and then established the Scranimal in a completed colored pencil drawing experimenting with "mark-making" techniques such as "cross-hatching."
