Benefits of Directed Drawing

Fine Motor Skills: Directed drawing nurtures fine motor skills, essential for writing and other dexterous tasks. As students grasp and manipulate drawing tools, their hand-eye coordination and muscle control refine.
Creativity: Directed drawing sparks imagination and creativity. Students are encouraged to explore colors, shapes, and patterns - and to add their own unique touches to each creation!

Writing Foundations: Directed drawing lays the groundwork for writing and also improves handwriting skills. Students learn to follow visual instructions, recognize and manipulate shapes, and maintain consistent pencil strokes – all essential elements of handwriting!

Watch Along to go with Dr. Seuss's The Lorax

This activity is a watch along to go with the movie The Lorax. This product is focused on the events in the story. Students will take doodle notes of what they see/hear. Then describe their doodle notes, and finally sequence the events in the correct order.

Doodle Notes: This is a great way to allow students to visualize what they are watching/reading. Instead of writing what they see, students "doodle" what they are seeing/hearing. This is also a great accommodation for students who might need support with writing.

I have also included an event bank if students need some more support with sequencing the events.

Please follow and review!

EDITION 2! Animal-themed!

Each page is a black and white half drawing of an item. There are 20 of these. The objective of this activity is to complete the other half to complete symmetry. It's better if learners have a foundation in symmetry, but this could act as an informal assessment. I've labelled each image, since they may not all be obvious. They could also color completed images as well, for an extra incentive to finish the drawings.
