Worksheet Description

This worksheet facilitates a creative collaboration where students first take on the role of an author by writing a short story. The lined section provides space for their written narrative, which they will then exchange with a classmate. The second part of the worksheet shifts their role to that of an illustrator, where they are given a space to draw an illustration for the story they received. This exchange allows students to interpret and visualize another’s writing, fostering creative thinking and collaboration.

The worksheet aims to teach students about the interconnected roles of authors and illustrators in storytelling. It encourages them to practice concise writing by crafting a short story that can be visually interpreted by someone else. Through the illustration activity, students learn to engage with and translate another person’s words into images, developing empathy and artistic skills. This creative exchange serves as a hands-on experience in collaborative storytelling, illustrating how different interpretations can bring a single story to life in multiple ways.
