Its academic value imparts higher-level thinking skills on students, invoking stronger critical analysis capacity. Apart from its academic benefits, it also challenges students' creative side through exercises like 'Descriptive Language', encouraging them to produce pictures based on author descriptions; likewise ‘Personification Poem Template’ inspires children to draw accompanying personification poems they have crafted themselves.
