Mini-Research Real World Activity
Congratulations! Because
you have shown such great skills in drawing and illustrating, you have
been chosen to help illustrate a dictionary! Right now, the
authors are working on words that start with the letter "I" and want
your help with words that begin with a short I sound. You can get
some ideas from this online
dictionary before you get started, but the word you choose does not
have to be from the website. Choose any word that begins
with a short I sound, draw a picture to describe it, and be sure to
write the word somewhere on the page. Now get started...you're working
against a deadline! The dictionary is going to be published soon, so
don't delay! But work carefully. Your work will be displayed on the
Internet!
