Procedure: 

1. Read the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? during circle time or story time. Be sure to point out the author and illustrator and the difference between the two roles when it comes to creating the storybook. 
   
2. After the story, ask students what they see around their classroom. It may be a friend, a decoration, or a desk. 
   
3. Invite students to become their own authors and illustrators by completing the Brown Bear, Brown Bear printable. Students should write their name twice on the top line, just like the title of the book. Next, students will illustrate what they see, and then write about it on the provided lines. If students are emergent writers, it is appropriate for them to use inventive spelling to sound out the words.
