Draw and Write

Worksheet Description

The “Bell Work” worksheet is an innovative educational tool designed to integrate visual arts with writing skills. This worksheet has a dual-section layout; on the left side, there are boxes marked ‘Draw’, and on the right side, corresponding boxes marked ‘Write’. This setup encourages students to express their understanding and creativity both visually and textually. It can be used for a variety of educational purposes, such as illustrating a concept learned in class and then describing it, or drawing a response to a reading assignment followed by a written reflection.

The top of the worksheet includes a space for the student’s name, allowing for personalization and ownership of the work. The eye-catching graphic of an eye with a bell pupil at the top right corner is symbolic of the attention and focus expected at the start of class. By using this worksheet, students are able to engage both hemispheres of their brain — the right side for creativity and the left side for analytical thinking. This form of dual engagement can enhance memory retention, understanding, and the ability to articulate thoughts in multiple formats. It is a versatile resource that can be adapted for use in various subjects, from language arts to science and social studies.
