Draw Then Write (Grades 1-3)
|
Draw Then Write (Grades 1-3) covers 23 different topics, all of which are very appealing and unoffensive - you will not find any witches, monsters, etc., in these books. Each topic has clear, step-by-step drawing instructions and some language arts activities to go with the picture being drawn. The language activities are great, but these books are more than worth the price for the drawing instructions alone - I practically had to wrestle my review copies away from my 6 year old son, who is the family's very most reluctant artist!! In addition to all of this, the books are fully reproducible, making them a terrific value. As we work through this book and the second volume in the series, my children are adding to their "drawing vocabulary." Having a mental bank of images that they have learned to draw really helps them enjoy doing art projects. Many of these pictures lend themselves very well to different science and history topics, so we plan to incorporate them into our history notebooks and science notebooks as well.
Each picture is presented in a number of ways. The first page for each picture has step-by-step instructions, a place to draw the picture, a place to trace the name of the picture, and a couple of fill-in-the-blank sentences (with a word bank). The second page for each picture has the same step-by-step instructions, a place to draw the picture, and a sentence-writing activity. The child writes about his picture, answering Who or What?, Did what?, Where?, When?, and Why?, then combines that information to write an interesting sentence. The third, most challenging page for each picture offers a creative drawing prompt such as "Draw a bird building a nest on a tree branch," then offers a related creative writing prompt such as "Explain why the bird is building a nest.) This allows you to select the most appropriate language arts level for each child.
A WORD ABOUT GRADE LEVELS: The primary difference between Volume One and Volume Two is the level of difficulty of the language arts instructions. My first grade reluctant artist has been gleefully drawing all sorts of things from the grades 4-6 volume. The pictures are a bit easier in the grades 1-3 book, but if our little guy can draw from the 4-6 book, then I believe that any first grader could also. When local and convention customers actually get a look at these books, they usually end up buying one of each - they are that great! (My mom even bought a set for herself!!!)
