Pre-test activity

This activity is designed to provide me with a rough idea of your knowledge of picture books in general, literary theory and picture book design.

By giving you this task before we begin the unit, changes can easily be made if you show evidence of prior learning.

Please give this task your best shot. It is important that you complete the task on your own. A mark will not be recorded at this stage.
