Project / Portfolio 2

Write a paragraph describing your favorite scene from the story and draw an illustration to go along with it.

My favourite scene from the story is when Jody finds the baby deer (fawn) in the woods. The moment is magical because it shows Jody's kindness and bravery. In my illustration, I'd draw Jody with a big smile, gently holding the fawn in his arms. The sun would be shining through the trees, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. The fawn would be looking up at Jody with trust and gratitude. It's a scene filled with love and the joy of helping others, which makes it special and heartwarming.

Project / Portfolio 3

Imagine what happens next in Jody's adventures with the fawn. Write a short story or draw a comic strip illustrating the continuation of the tale.

Jody named the fawn Bambi and cared for it every day. They explored the woods together, and Bambi grew stronger. Jody's parents, Penny and Ma Baxter, admired their bond. One day, Jody and Bambi encountered a stream, and Bambi hesitated. Courageously, Jody encouraged Bambi to cross. They faced challenges but found joy in every adventure. Bambi became a part of the family, and Jody learned valuable lessons about responsibility and friendship. The story highlights the magical connection between humans and nature, emphasizing love and compassion. The adventures of Jody and Bambi continued, creating cherished memories in their woodland haven.
