  • Stage 2 Students are shown a picture sequence and told to write about it.
  • Stage 3 When the time limit expires the teacher stops the students and collects the work.

Story construction

  • Stage 1 Students are put into groups of six.
  • Stage 2 Each member of the group is given a letter (A-F).
  • Stage 3 Each group is given one of the pictures from the sequence . All the members of the group should write two sentences about their picture together, using past tenses. Each member of the group now has the same two sentences.
  • Stage 4 The teacher now collects the four pictures, and re-forms groups so that all the A’s are together, all the B’s and so on. The new groups must now put their sentences together to form a coherent story. They should be reminded that they will probably have to make changes from the original sentences, especially in terms of tense and the use of cohesive devices ,etc.
