Ms Manjulika read aloud a story to children in her class then engaged them in a discussion on the story .After this she asked them to draw pictures on the story .why do you think she asked them to draw pictures on the story
Answers
Drawing pictures based on the story is nothing but a post-lesson activity. This activity serves many purposes:
1. Recap: Learners will automatically do a mental recap of the story so that they can then choose which part of the story or which particular character they want to focus on, in their drawing.
2. Relaxing activity: Since it is not a regular academic worksheet, it will be a fun-filled activity. It will be a break from the typical assignments.
3. Encourages expression: Many children are not good at expressing themselves in words. Drawing encourages learners to express their ideas in a non-verbal way. It gives children who are weak in language skills an opportunity to be appreciated, which improves their classroom experience.
4. Promotes participation: Such an activity motivates children to pay attention the next time a story is read aloud in class. It will become easier to get them interested in classwork.
