Fantasy Writing

In preparation for your ibook picture book fantasy story, you will need to collect a cover page and 5 images for your fantasy story. Save your images in a google presentation. You are welcome to draw, digitally create, or use images from the internet. The design of the images must be related in some way. The images you select should go with the five scenes for your story that you wrote in your plot today. Spend no more than 30mins collecting your media!
