The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds

Vashti's art class frustrated her until her teacher honored her dot picture.  Her teacher's encouragement inspired her to be creative with lots of dot pictures.  In the end she passed on the encouragement to a younger boy and his squiggle.
Craft idea- make pictures using just dots and/or squiggles  (use the end of a pencil eraser in different color stamp pads or Do A Dot markers-my boys just wanted to paint!).

Older students:
Strategy-author's purpose/message, determining importance
