Inference Lesson: Stories Told in Pictures


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!
