Before we get started, all of my artifacts are from the storybook project. The storybook project was where we worked with a partner to write a book to help kids in the grades 3rd- 5th to use Conflict Resolution Strategies to solve conflicts at their school (in our case they used conflict resolution). The reason we wrote a storybook is to advocate for the health of 3rd – 5th graders at other schools, to teach them how to advocate for themselves. The purpose of storybook was to teach us about conflict resolution and terms and concepts relating to Language Arts, Wellness and Fitness and STEM Foundations. The goal story book was, how can we teach 3rd - 5th graders to self-advocate through the writing process? This artifact’s purpose is to show that through many drafts and persistence I grew in being able to bold my lines to make them look better and less sloppy. My first artifact is drawings of all of our characters, it is a picture of Stevie the Shuttle looming over Earth with Mike, Mark, and Matt in the shuttle getting ready to enter earth and land at the M.I.S.A. HQ. The first and last draft show growth in bolding lines because in the first one the earth looks faint and ghost like. Bolding lines means to make your lines darker by going over them again and again. These images are from the image construction part of storybook. The types of pencils are, starting from lightest to darkest, 2H, HB, B, 2B, 4B, and 6B.  The first draft I used HB (Which is more towards the light side than the dark side). Because I used lighter pencils, the earth did not show up the way I wanted it to, it also looked. So Ms. WA gave me critique and she said that I need to make the lines in different spots darker using darker pencils to create bolder lines to make the drawing better. These images really shown growth in my skill of being able to bold my lines because the image shows that when I bolded my lines they stood out more and they made the image look good. In class Ms. WA taught us how to bold our lines without making “Hairy” lines. “Hairy” lines means that the line has been gone over many times and there are little tinny tiny pencil marks coming out of the line and it makes the line look unprofessional and sloppy. You can make hairy lines by not using a ruler or not taking your time. So I took Ms. WA’s feedback and used it to make the drawing really nice, but I wasn’t done. I made many drafts and finally got the last draft approved by Ms. WA. That draft was the draft we used in our storybook.  I tried really hard and kept trying until it was approved. That final draft turned out great and was used in are storybook.
