Worksheet Description

This worksheet encourages students to craft a story based on a picture, guiding them to cover all essential aspects by using the 5 Ws & How approach. The image provides a starting point for their creativity, and the lines below are where they bring their story to life, ensuring they include who, what, where, when, why, and how in their narrative. This exercise not only sparks their imagination but also provides a clear framework for building a well-rounded story. By filling in the details, students transform the static image into a dynamic tale.

It emphasizes the importance of including comprehensive details that answer all the critical questions a reader might have. This approach helps students to understand how to give depth to their stories, making them more engaging and complete. By practicing this method, students learn to create narratives that are clear, thorough, and satisfying for the reader, equipping them with skills that are valuable in both creative writing and analytical thinking.
