My Koala’s Not a Doctor

This Draw and Describe worksheet features a playful poem titled “My Koala’s Not a Doctor” from the book The Elephant Repairman, which humorously lists various professions that a koala doesn’t have. The activity combines reading comprehension with creative expression by asking students to draw their favorite part of the poem and write about their illustration. This multi-faceted approach encourages students to engage deeply with the text, visualize the narrative, and articulate their understanding through both art and writing. Suitable for grades 2-4, it offers an engaging way to explore different occupations, wordplay, and the characteristics of koalas, while fostering imagination and personal connection to the poem.
