Interpret, or figure out, what is happening. Decide, or think about what will happen next. Then draw and color a picture of what you visualized in the box. The Teacher It was the first day of school. The teacher sat at a desk. An apple and some books were on top of the desk. The teacher s name was written on the board. The bell rang and the teacher smiled. I love the first day of school! When you are finished with your picture, look at the picture your friend drew. Are your pictures the same? Probably not. That is because you each visualized the story in a different way, and that is just fine.

That is because you each visualized the story in a different way, and that is just fine.
