Shark Directed Drawing Project

One of the drawing projects in our recently updated My First Summer Directed Drawing pack is a shark. It is full of whimsical character but perfect for emergent-drawers with simple lines and shapes. 

After drawing they can paint, crayon - adding extra detail and texture if they choose. Along with step-by-steps drawing guides, the printable pack includes writing papers. Encourage your students to write by first:

• reading about sharks (this is a good site)
• talking about what you read 
• writing some information or a word list on a chart or your board
• modelling how to attempt a simple sentence or two (depending on the writing abilities of your class)
• encouraging students to attempt their own writing

Here is how to draw the shark if you'd like your students to follow along! 

In addition, if you're in the Pond Coloring Club we have an All About Sharks page today! Glued into a writing book or inside a writing folder, this page would look great with the drawing adjacent! 

I hope your children enjoy drawing a fun shark and reading all about them!
