K and T:"What was the most difficult part of the writing process?"

Class:"The computers, changing the language. Trying to find the rhythm. Drawing the illustrations, it was hard to draw like Shel."

K and T:"What was the easiest writing process?"

Class:"The drafting process. The illustrations and the rhythms for some kids. Also publishing was hard."

K and T:"How long did it take to write the book?"

Class:"It took about a month to write the book."

K and T:"Was there a lot of  editing?"

Class:"Yes, because we had to revise and use stronger vocabulary. Also we had to flip the words."

K and T:"Did you enjoy writing the book?"

Class:"Yes, because when we re-read it our mistakes were funny. It was fun because the writing and drawings were silly. We also got to swap words and really understand the process of an author. When we switched papers we got to see what our peers wrote about."

K and T:"Was writing the book fun?"

Class:"The book was fun because we got to feel like an author. We got to publish our work. People got to add peers to their poems to make them realistic. Also we got to create characters. We got to work closely with our teachers. Also we got to make animals do unusual things. Shel does simple drawings so it was easy."
