The children create signage for the workshop and then a toolbox appears, labelled, Izzy’s Tools. The text, Izzy Gizmo is discovered and then shared over several days. Children explore things that have gone wrong for Izzy – writing her a letter of encouragement – and then go on to invent their own gadgets and gizmos to help a creature/pet just like Izzy helps the crow in the story. Their creations are shared verbally before the children draw labeled diagrams and write simple explanations. Synopsis of Text: Then start building.
