About this resource
Description
A good picture can spark a great story. This You Write the Story Beaver Picture Worksheet gives young writers a funny scene to explore: a beaver sitting on the grass happily chewing on a baseball bat, with a baseball and a glove left nearby. Children look closely at the picture, decide what is going on, and turn their ideas into a short narrative with characters, events, and an ending.
Students begin by studying the picture and asking questions. Who does the bat belong to? Why is the beaver chewing it? What will happen when the players come back? Then they give the beaver a name and write their story on the eight roomy writing lines below the picture. This 2nd grade narratives worksheet works well for writing centers, journal time, early finisher work, or homework, and every child’s story will be different.
What’s Included
- One full-color picture prompt of a beaver chewing a baseball bat
- Clear directions that ask students to name the beaver and tell what happens next
- Eight wide writing lines sized for 2nd grade handwriting
Why It Helps Kids Learn
First, a picture prompt removes the fear of the blank page, because the setting and the problem are already there. Second, children practice the parts of a narrative, including a character, a sequence of events, and an ending. Third, looking closely at details such as the wood chips and the empty glove helps students make inferences and add descriptive words to their writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Talk about the picture together before writing and list interesting words on the board, such as gnaw, crunch, and wooden. Encourage students to use time-order words like first, next, and last. When children finish the You Write the Story Beaver Picture Worksheet, invite them to read their stories aloud and compare how many different ideas came from the same picture.
