Journal Entry One

Team just Ducky met with Karen Pavlicin, award-winning writer, and shared our outreach project/storybook.  We appreciated Karen's excellent feedback, ideas, and advice.  We were inspired, at the same time, overwhelmed with the tasks that lay ahead.  It seems impossible to create, illustrate, and write a good story in just a matter of a few weeks!  Out team will work long hours to make the impossible possible.

Progress to date:

• targeted our demographic audience
• story will be educational with lots of good information
• teachers can use the book to teach
• story will hold kids interest and they will want to read it again and again
• story contains challenges, obstacles, and of course a happy ending
• identified the setting
• created qualities of characters 
• determined location for press release
• created storyboard  
• discussed fun storyline and illustrations

Now we will work on the hardest part:  Telling the story
