Slides work best as revision after the lesson rather than instead of it: read the matching pages in the reading book first, then use these to check what you remember. For Grade 6 this is usually a single topic per file.
This lesson works from a poem or lullaby rather than a visual reference - the task is translating what's heard into what's drawn: picking one clear moment from the words (a mother's face, the rhythm of rocking, the room at night) rather than trying to illustrate every line.
That's a genuinely different starting point from copying an object or a photograph, and it's the beginning of a skill the syllabus returns to later at a higher level - responding to a Jataka story in the Vesak pandal work, or interpreting a mood in appreciation questions from Grade 10 onward. Picking a single strong moment, rather than everything at once, is the habit worth building here.
