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
