Illuminated Letter-Second and Third grade (sub plan)

 Long ago books were copied by hand.  Meaning, a person would re-write the book, slowly and carefully.  Besides writing all the words, they would also add drawings.

They would work hard, using calligraphy, to make the pages look like art. 

Usually at the beginning of each page, the scribe, would start with a huge letter.

They would sometimes add drawings inside and around the letter.
