GRADES 4–5 · LESSON 3

Say It With a Sketch

Make a quick scribble and see which picture the AI thinks you meant.

By the end of this lesson you will have — one small poster with 3 pictures you chose, finished with AutoDraw's suggestions

What you'll show at the end: A poster with 3 pictures made in AutoDraw, plus 3 lines: what I meant, and the first picture the AI showed.

AutoDraw

Under 13? Use a parent's account, with your parent sitting next to you.

Follow these steps

Pick 3 things for a poster (for example: sun, tree, house). Write them in the Say box, one word each. Then write your guess in the Predict box and lock it.
Ask a parent to sit with you. Open AutoDraw. You do not need an account. Choose the AutoDraw tool and make a quick scribble of your first thing.
Look at the row of pictures at the top that starts with "Do you mean". Write down the first picture in the row. Then click the one that matches your idea. Do the same for all 3 things.
Take a screenshot of your poster. Stuck or curious? With your parent, copy the question from the box next to these steps into the AI you're allowed to use (under 13: a parent's account, with your parent next to you). No AI? Read the sample answer on this page instead.

Starting fresh? Can't choose? Use this poster idea: a sunny day at the park. Your 3 things are: sun, tree, bicycle.
