THE 4 DIFFERENTIATED PAGE VARIATIONS FOR DRAWING AND WRITING PAGES

1. Drawing windows are unfilled and ready for students to make

their mark.

2. Drawing windows contain the first step of each directed drawing. This establishes

size and placement of the drawing. Students will complete the remaining steps of

the drawings following the step-by-step guides.

3. Drawing windows contain the entire image, of each directed drawing, in gray

tone. Students can trace the gray lines with or without following the step-by-step

instructions. (Note: some copy machines may not print gray tones well, or at all.

Please, check your copier before making copies of this set of pages.)

4. This variation is not a directed drawing activity but a coloring activity. The drawing

windows contain the full image of each directed drawing in black line. Students

will not draw with this set, but color in the images. This set has been included

primarily for when class time is short, or for students who were absent and need

to make up the project. These pages can also be used as samples to show
students what the completed drawings will be.

Steps highlighted in blue line make it even easier for students to immediately discern which steps to draw next. Both variations contain 6 steps for each drawing.
