Third, having
had an opportunity to speak with several of the students who
came to one of our final workshops, I had a chance to ask them
what the experience of using art and literacy together meant to
them. They spoke about how their teachers encouraged
them; how they felt seeing their art and words in print, in a
book with their names on it. They also said that even though
they enjoyed the experience, they would not want to do picture
books for every single subject they had. They liked the
specialness of doing the single theme books. I also read
the student responses to a questionnaire they filled out after
the project ended.
