What Do You See?

Learning Goals: Literacy, Writing, Communication, Properties, Working Memory

    • In small groups or at a writing table, display images or photographs to inspire writing. 
      • Images can include clouds, animals or other objects that students will recognize to write about.
      • ​​​​Different books can also be placed out for students to choose a picture. 
    • Once students have chosen a picture or image, encourage them to write about what they see.
    • After writing, have students draw a picture that matches what they wrote.
    • As an extension: ask students to label their pictures using words and arrows. 

We are the Play Learning Lab, run by Dr. Angela Pyle at the Dr. Eric Jackman Institute of Child Study of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto.
