Have you understood the story?I am going to test your knowledge through these questions.
1. Where did the story take place? How was that place? What animals were there?
2. What did happen one day? What did happen on the
land?

4. What did he do in that forest?
5. Who did arrive
many years after? How did it feel when it saw the forest? What did it do? How
did it do that?

You can do a speaking exercise, as well. You can speak and describe each image at the same time that you order the story.
Finally, you have to do a creative writing.You have to create a new end of the story.
Dear Paula,
ResponderEliminarI have always thought stories are great to foster our reading and writing abilities.
The idea of having pictures is useful, as it helps students understand the events of the story, and making our pupils explain the story with their own words proves if they have internalised the message or not. Also, having a list of comprehension questions is important, since teachers can easily check their students comprehension.
Something I would have done different is the writing. In class, I wouldn't tell them how the story ends, I'd ask them to predict it. Later, they could compare theirs with the original one and see who provided the most accurate one.
Best,
