Monica’s Brother

Worksheet Description

This “Draw the Scene” worksheet invites preschoolers to engage their imaginations and drawing skills to bring a written description to life. The scene begins with Monica entering her brothers’ room, where the readers can visualize the open window with curtains drawn back, allowing the rain to seep in, creating an immediate sense of atmosphere and setting. The wall to the right holds a peg with a peaked cap, just above a chair stacked with books, hinting at a space that’s lived-in and personal. Across from the bunk beds, children are prompted to draw a desk with a cage with a mouse on top, adding an element of interest and life to the room.

The worksheet further describes the room’s floor, adorned with black ink stains, providing a canvas for creativity and detail. In the center lies a rug, atop which sits a soccer ball, suggesting playfulness and activity. However, the twins are nowhere to be seen, allowing the young artist to ponder their whereabouts, possibly adding a narrative element to their artwork. The worksheet concludes with a section for self-reflection, where children can evaluate their depiction of the scene, fostering both cognitive understanding and creative expression.
