If you are stuck, think about the 5Ws. • The illustrations for Chapter 2 must be drawn digitally, but the illustrations for the other chapters may be photographs taken only from: • http://www.olympic.org/ or • http://olympics.cbc.ca/ • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BSNNV-EyVQ • 4. When you think you are done, be sure to proofread your picture book. Make sure all your titles have capitals, and that each sentence is a complete thought and punctuated correctly. You are welcome to peer edit each other’s work or have an adult look at it.
