Product: Story Based on a Picture As you may recall, students will tell a story based on a picture. In this lesson, students will create a list with phrases to start, mark transitions, and close stories. Organize the class into teams, read the instruction aloud, and suggest that they use the information provided on page 112, encouraging them to write any other phrase they can think of. Monitor while they work to check. Once you have checked them all, have them copy the phrases on pieces of cardboard. Post them around the classroom so they can read them easily during their presentation at the end of this unit. This activity will be your third evidence in this unit; ask students to file the list following the procedure you prefer. Self-evaluation Read the questions aloud to make sure students know what each of them refers to. Tell them to review the activities they performed in this lesson to answer and identify their areas of opportunity. Finally, encourage them to suggest ways in which they may improve. How can you differentiate the three parts of your story? Ask students the question and this time invite them to say the phrases to start, mark transitions, and close stories that they learned in this lesson.
