It happens sometimes, but since it's not a huge issue, I don't push to correct it.<br /><br />However...I do try to push for students to illustrate what they read. I started an art room library (all books are art-based), and I have students draw a picture of what they read...without labels. I explain that the pictures can also tell a story. <br /><br />Maybe throw in a few lessons in the primary years to reinforce what illustrations are and how the pictures themselves tell stories without words?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15958495797601278519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389664435397645366.post-64997566812677906532014-01-20T21:00:01.149-05:002014-01-20T21:00:01.149-05:00I have the same issue with an after school group I...I have the same issue with an after school group I teach - they're mostly middle school age and STILL do it... There are a few things I have tried with varying success, but the two that worked best were a lesson based around titles and how they are a window into what the artist was thinking a lesson that included developing an artists mark. On occasion I have also resorted to banning standard writing utensils. Good Luck!Art Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02598452150346836586noreply@blogger.com
