My Storybird link
I made short picture story in Storybird. As they
provided nice drawings, teachers can make their own teaching materials
especially based on reading. My story is about the day of mole mom Mary and her
two sons. I refer to Michigan English
Language Proficiency Standards for K-12 schools, especially R.5.2.c restate
fact and details of fact.
Making
this story, I tried to put useful expressions frequently used in daily life.
The target students are from pre-school students to elementary third graders.
As my target students are young, I focused on their ability to restate the fact
and details. Through making their own story, students can use the words and
expressions I used in this material.
Students will be able to make their own
story with very short sentences and beautiful drawings. They can review what
they have learned through the lesson. I will give them an reading quiz to ask
them what they have read in this story.
An interesting activity to do with younger students would be to have them create a story with you as in the Language Experience Approach. You could show them each picture on a white board or smartboard, for example, and have them create the text which you then enter. That way they will have created a story.
