![]() ![]() In time, the young Wiesner began exploring the history of art, delving into the Renaissance at first - Michelangelo, Dürer, and da Vinci - then moving on to such surrealists as Magritte, de Chirico, and Dalí. The images before him generated a love of detail, an admiration for the creative process, and a curiosity about the hand behind the drawings. When the everyday play stopped, he would follow his imaginary playmates into the pages of books, wandering among dinosaurs in the World Book Encyclopedia. His home and his neighborhood became anything from a faraway planet to a prehistoric jungle. Perhaps it was this decor which awakened his creativity and gave it the dreamlike, imaginative quality so often found in his work.Īs a child growing up in suburban New Jersey, Wiesner re-created his world daily in his imagination. ![]() During David Wiesner's formative years, the last images he saw before closing his eyes at night were the books, rockets, elephant heads, clocks, and magnifying glasses that decorated the wallpaper of his room. ![]()

I like to have students present their work to the class, or I will post student work in the classroom and have a gallery walk-through. ![]() I like this activity because students get to choose events they feel are most important in the literary work and standout to them.

The lined space for the fifth event is limited. The spacing ranges from single space, space and a half, and double space. Each copy has different line spacing to accommodate the different level of writers (or penmanship). This worksheet is one page however, there are three different copies. There is enough space for students to list five major events. I enjoy having students draw and color their art.
