We have just finished learning about the Children of Lir. We created our own booklet and illustrated the story. We broke the story up into eight sections and wrote short descriptions of what we thought were the most important events in the story. We then picked a section each and drew pictures to illustrate the story, someone had to design the cover of the booklet as well. Teacher scanned our pictures and added them to the booklet. We also recorded the story.
You hope you enjoy our story.
