Definition: A picture, likeness, diagram or representation, usually drawn on paper.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! That’s a wonderful definition you’ve got there – “A picture, likeness, diagram or representation, usually drawn on paper.” Let's break it down just a little bit more, to really understand what "drawings" means. Think of it this way: “Drawings” is all about making something visible. It’s taking an idea from your mind and putting it onto a surface – most often paper! Picture: Like a cartoon or a portrait, capturing a scene or someone's face. Likeness: Trying to make something look like something else - maybe you're drawing a copy of a famous painting. Diagram: These are more practical – think maps, blueprints, or even how a machine works! They show how things are arranged and connected. Representation: Simply put, it’s showing something in place of the real thing. Like drawing a small flower instead of using the actual flower. So, whether you're sketching with crayons, shading with pencils, or even doodling with markers, you're creating drawings! Do you have any questions about what we just discussed? Perhaps you could tell me what you think a drawing is?

Definition: An appendage of an animal's (bird, bat, insect) body that enables it to fly; a similar fin at the side of a ray or similar fish

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re exploring the word “wings.” The dictionary gives us a pretty good starting point, doesn't it? Let’s break it down nice and slow. It says "an appendage… that enables it to fly." Now, an appendage just means something attached – like an arm or a leg! Think of it as “added on.” So, wings are things attached to animals - birds, bats, even insects – and they’re what allow them to soar through the sky. They help them lift off and glide with such delight! And the dictionary doesn't stop there! It tells us about fish too, rays that swim with grace. They have fins, similar in shape to wings, that help them move through the water’s space. Essentially, "wings" is all about movement – whether it’s flying high or swimming free, it’s a tool for traveling, you see! Do you have any questions about what we've discussed? Let’s brainstorm - what animals do you think of when you hear the word “wings”?
