Children can then be directed to complete the drawing according to the focus of the lesson (portait, body parts, feelings, etc.). Two body outlines are included so that two buddies can work on their own diagram without having to switch files.  The two body outlines can also be used by a single student (before-after, young-old, inside-outside).
