Jason Chin!

Yesterday, we were given the opportunity to listen to Jason Chin, a non-fiction author. We loved his book Coral Reefs and Redwoods! He talked to us about how he collects the research for his books and  how he does his illustrations. What did you find most interesting about his presentation? What was your favorite thing he told you?

  1. I liked Jason Chin's presentation . I liked coral reefs the best. I did not know he could draw so well. I also did't know that he travels to the place he studies. I liked when he talked about water lizard.

  2. My favorite thing he told us about scuba diving was the sea lion blowing bubbles! I thought that was so funny! My favorite book that he wrote was Coral Reefs. I liked it because I liked learning about underwater animals in 2nd grade. The most interesting thing he told us was that Redwoods was published with 1 try! That is so cool!

  6. I sadly was sick the day Jason Chin presented at school. But I do really enjoy his books like: Island, Redwoods and Coral Reefs. My favorite of those is Island because I love to learn about The Galapagos. Any way how was it? What did he talk about? I am eager to learn!

  7. The most interesting thing was when he was drawing it looked like a REAL picture. My favorite thing Jason Chin said was he went scuba diving with the Coral Reefs. And when he was face to face with a wild animal.

  13. Jason Chin's talk was extremely interesting! I didn't know that an illustrator lived by him. It was neat when he got inspiration for a future job by having an illustrator come to his school!
    It was so cool that he got to blow bubbles and dive with a Galapagos sea lion. The turtle drawing looked so lifelike I almost expected it to start eating grass!

  16. Jason Chin was so cool. He found his information in a fun way. He got to travel to the places he was writing about. That was so cool. Like when he rote his book about the Galapagos he said he got to go ther and see all of this cool stuff. My favorite book he rote was the book about the Red Woods. That was so cool how the scientist use a bow and arrow to get up the tree. The books I ordered were Water is Water, Gravity and Red Woods. All of Jason Chins books were great. I can not wait to see who are next visiting author.

  21. I thought that it most interesting when he told us he went under water to find information about the book Coral Reefs. I also thought it was interesting that there was a rule that you couldn't touch any animals on Galapagos. I wonder if a bird lands on your shoulder and you are really still if you get kicked out since it says no touching animals?

  22. I found it interesting that he travels to places far away to get information for his books. I found it also interesting that he painted pictures of what he saw that was interesting. One of the favorite things he told us was when he went diving and the seal blew bubbles at him and he blew them back.

  23. I found it interesting that turtles can be as tall as a human on hind legs. I think Jason Chin is a great illustrator as well as a author. I hope he can make more "chain" books(Books that are chained together by characters).
