Explore how illustrations add to a story. Young learners will look at picture books to see how the pictures tell the story. They create illustrations to go with a chosen story, and then flip the activity so they have to write a story to go with illustrations from a picture book. This strategy can be used with literature or informational texts and is great for learners of all ages.
