Children love to draw, especially when they can follow simple steps. In this newly revised and expanded edition of Draw...Then Write, grade 1-3 students follow picture and written directions to draw animals, people, and vehicles. The finished drawings provide motivation for creative writing. The 30 topics in Draw...Then Write are presented in three levels of difficulty, allowing you to customize the lessons to the needs of your students. Easiest level-students follow three steps to complete a drawing and then select words for a word box to complete three sentences about the object drawn. More difficult level-students follow three steps to complete a drawing and then write phrases to answer who, what, where, and why questions about the drawing. These phrases are then used to write a sentence. Most difficult level-students are challenged to draw the object in a new situation. They then write a paragraph about the picture, following the writing prompt provided. The instructive pictures utilize basic geometric shapes, which the student composes, step by step, into a complete picture of the topic.
