All vocabulary generated does not have to be used and other words may be added as needed. When all are finished, each group identifies and displays its image and reads aloud its sentence or paragraph to the entire class. Have students brainstorm words that related to the work. As students call out their responses, the teacher or a student writes the response words on large Post-It Notes or index cards and places them below or around the art image. The words can then be reviewed and grouped in a variety of ways to initiate discussion or writing activities.
Students can write summative sentences or paragraphs about the reproduction.
Complexity of vocabulary will vary according to the level of the students. Interpretive Writing Assign students to groups of three or four. Ask students to first read the information on the back of the print before beginning discussion. Have each group use the information learned from the print along with personal knowledge and experience to collaboratively write an imaginative story, poem, song, or drama that interprets the meaning of the image. When all are finished, each group identifies and displays its image and presents its interpretation to the entire class.
