After reading "The Squiggle" by Carole Lexa Schafer, students use their own creative vision and talent to turn a squiggle into a masterpiece. They use crayons to color background and details, anything that helps make their squiggle into a picture. Using the lines underneath their picture, students write a story or explanation to go with the squiggle.
