Five-picture-story

Five picture story

This activity is called “the five-picture-story” because it is a story based on the following five images. Have a look:

These are five scenes in a story… that will be put together by a wonderful and imaginative writer: YOU!


So, look at the Pictures again and let your imagination run free!
Put them in the order that you prefer!


What do you see?
How can they be put together in a coherent line of thought?

Instructions:

• In pairs, make a pre-writing plan and start giving shape to your sequence of events. In pairs, you can brainstorm ( give different ideas and write them all together and then order the valuable ones. You can use e-mail or chat for this purpose) Think of an introduction (it can be informative, surprising, or descriptive), then events that happen, and then conclude the action.

• Now, the WRITING!! You will be writing in pairs or groups of three (remember, two heads or more think more than one!) Your English teacher will take you to the computer room.

TIP: use WORD programe for this purpose. Remember to customize your document in "English" language. How? go to the tool bar, click on TOOLS-> Language->select language. Once you have finished writing, check spelling and grammar by clicking on F7 and make the necessary corrections. MIND YOU, the grammar is not perfect and some phrases may be underlined in green but they are OK. So, if you are not sure about the WORD suggestion, ask your teacher!!

• After checking grammar and spelling, save your DOCUMENT !!!! You will get very angry if you loose your work.If you are at the computer room at school the best thing to do is to autosend your WORD document to your email account either in an attached file or as part of the message. The decision is yours.

• Always remember to edit your work after you finish: take a break, then go back to your writing and re-read it, it´s a good idea to write in Word and then improve it, make it more attractive, run a spelling test until you are happy with it.

IMPORTANT: Your work must have approximately 130 words. FORMAT: Font Arial 12,double space between sentences and justified text. DEADLINE: April 19th

• Send your writing to me by e-mail to solibarrav@gmail.com I´ll be waiting anxiously for your stories! I will correct, make comments and send them back by e-mail to you!

Your stories will then be published in the blog in a frame of honour place!!! So, Come on, do your best! :) Sol

YOUR COMMENTS

First of all, Happy Easter everybody! Hello there! Thank you for visiting the blog! Your comments were extremely interesting to read! : )

They were clear and informative. However, there were some little errors that were repeated in most comments. Here are some of these common errors so we all learn from each other:

I use internet with my childrens (children is plural, no final "s". The singular is "child")

I use internet for checking mails, search information and comunicated with my friends. (Careful! Choose a tense and stick to it! I use internet for checking mails, searching information and comunicating with my friends)

chek mails (Spelling: missing "c";"check". This is why the best is to write in Word and run a spelling test before handing in written work)

them I start my work (again Spelling: then)

I use it for comunication whith friends (Spelling: missing "m"> "communication". Extra "h"> "with")

I am going to used internet (Grammar. Tenses. I am going to USE internet. always TO + INFINITIVE)

I use internet everyday to reading and writing mails (TO + INFINITIVE verb; to read and write mails)

It´s a tool very important for me (word order: It´s a very important tool for me)

I search information about differents items (Careful! In English adjectives are NEVER plural> different items)

I hope it helped to see some common corrections. Anyway, your comments were great to read!

In our next post we will be writing in small groups and you will send your work to me by e-mail so you then receive a more personalized correction!

I´ll be waiting for your work! :)

Sol.
