Reading/Writing/Story-Telling: Using Picture Stories with Young Learners |
Picture stories can be a fantastic way to get your young learner students talking and writing. Clear, obviously sequenced pictures in slots of four to six allow students to focus on a series of 'here-and-now' scenes that fit together to create simple little stories. They can try to tell the story step-by-step in their own words, followed by a written composition, or vice versa (or indeed, an initial oral attempt followed by writing corrected with scaffolding from the teacher, concluding with a final oral telling to give students the opportunity to try and use new vocabulary or sentence structures they may have learned during the writing process). However picture stories are used in the classroom to facilitate creativity of expression from students, they always include a key ingredient for your average young learner: a clear and attainable context. |
