Visualise, Draw and Write for Continuous Writing

I have came up with another innovative and approach to writing essay. I finally came up with this idea when my students always gave me the reason for not able to write more due to shortage of ideas. Therefore, I thought of using graphic that they visualise and draw on a blank paper. Whatever they visualise and draw will base on the topic or title of the essay. After visualising and drawing the graphics, they will have to write what they draw with the help of WH-questions.
Before they are in this stage, I have applied the combination of  mastery approach and process writing. I have introduced and explained them the generic structure of a writing text. First, I will start with the introduction of the essay. After the students have mastered the introduction part, then they are able to proceed with the next part of the essay, the content of the body and last the conclusion part.
