Drawing in Writer's Workshop


We are off to a great start in Writer's Workshop.
Our first unit is Drawing.

 This week we've been reading GREAT drawing mentor texts...




and learning how to draw lines, shapes, and faces.

The children *loved* roll and recording different lines with partners. 
Great fine motor practice!





(if they rolled the ?, students could try any line we've learned, or teach their partner a new line)

This week we will focus on drawing details 
and "filling the white space". 
Looking forward to watching these amazing artists and writers grow! 

UPDATE!! 
I have created a Doodle Book to capture your students' growth in drawing... 

Check it out here:

  1. I LOVE the line dice! Looks like your children are loving learning how to draw. The books you used look like great resources! I'll have to up some of them because I haven't seen them before.

  2. I think the dice are a really creative idea as well! Harold and the Purple Crayon is a real classic!
