that describe something about the ImagiNations teddy bear. Words may depict

Artistic Response
Students undertake a study of the work of artist Ted Harrison, using books such
as O Canada and Children of the Yukon or www.tedharrison.com/.
Students observe and discuss the style and techniques used and create their
own pictures (with the ImagiNations teddy bears in them) using paints, oils,
pastels or crayons.
Story Patterns
After reading If You Give a Moose a Muffin by Laura Joffe, students
create their own pattern stories using the ImagiNations teddy bear as the main
character (e.g., If you give Sizzle a piece of bread, he will want some honey…).
