difficult for them to draw

Guided Practice:

o Have students look at their illustrations and think about if their illustrations match their
words and how they can add to their illustrations to show more detail.
o Ask a few students to share

Independent Practice:

o Students may add to their words if they want but should really focus on adding to
illustrations.

taught while they are writing independently.
