Brighten your classroom and engage students in a creative writing activity by first having them draw for Groundhog Day! Follow along with the steps in our new pack - also added to the fun bundle - or have students add some additional features and detail.
After drawing, painting or coloring they can write using one of the pages provided. I also share free writing paper for drawing projects in my TPT store too!
Between drawing and writing, you could:
- sit with your students and talk about their drawings - the words and language you model will help them in writing - e.g. Tell me something you see on your picture. The sun. Oh yes, I see your big, yellow, warm sun beaming down on groundhog.
- scribe some words on your board or chart paper for students to refer to as they write
- for beginning-writers, write a collaborative sentence together as a class and have them copy it
