I wrote a post the other day about turning words into pictures and a picture being worth 1,000 words.
This lead to me to find stories that are told using only pictures.
This could be a great inference lesson.
The first "Story" I found was:
My little mentee brought this one to my attention:
I saw this on Pinterest the other day and thought it was sweet also:
I thought I could show these to my students and have them create captions for the pictures inferring what is occurring in the photos and then write a story based only on the photos and their inferences.
But wait there's more!
I thought that after doing this assignment, perhaps I could have kids create a photo story of their own. I could split them into groups and they could plan, storyboard, and direct photo shoots of their own devising.
I could limit the stories to a certain number of pictures and have them printed at Wal Mart for 4 cents a piece and have the groups create a storyboard
-or-
I could have them create a slideshow of the images themselves.
Then each group would be assigned another group's photo slideshow and infer/write the story they think they were trying to tell!
I have to tell you, I'm jealous! You are so creative. I wish I had even half of your brain :). Thanks again for the wonderful ideas.
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful that your creativity is starting to ware off on me. I made a Prezi the other day using some of your material. I took some of your stuff from your YOLO blog topic (SNL video, DPS video, and image- hope you don't mind) and combined them with a writing lesson that I will be doing soon. The Prezi is how I will introduce the lesson.
Every day I look forward to reading your blog. I already purchased your English curriculum- minus the novels. I also have a nice wish list for most of your latest lessons on TPT.
I'm a huge fan!
Thanks! Most of the time I feel like I am just barely muddling through so it is always nice to hear people enjoy my ideas!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the activity you created (If you don't mind)! Send me an email at: kmpotter05@yahoo.com if you feel like it!
