From Words to Pictures

Worksheet Description

The worksheet encourages students to delve into a book of their choice, identify a passage that resonates with them, and describe what happens in that section of the text. The first part of the activity involves critical reading and comprehension, as students must summarize the chosen passage in their own words. Following the description, the worksheet offers a creative space where students are instructed to draw an illustration that captures the essence of the text they’ve described. This provides a hands-on opportunity for students to convert narrative elements into visual representations.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students the interplay between text and imagery in storytelling. It reinforces reading comprehension skills by having them recount the events of a passage. The drawing component then challenges them to express those events visually, fostering creativity and interpretive skills. This activity not only cultivates an understanding of the roles of authors and illustrators but also highlights how each student can personally interpret and visualize a narrative, emphasizing the subjective nature of art and storytelling.
