Using a video to motivate students for writing
Focus: to write a report and to use descriptive vocabulary
This resource is a version of story path retelling activity. Students use the story path prompts to illustrate a story and then use the strip to retell it.
Glue the prompts together to make a single strip or cut each prompt out and staple them to make a little book. Individual students could complete their own strip, or it could be completed collaboratively.
This rich oral language activity could be used as an independent reading activity.
For more ideas for retelling, see our on demand workshop Using retelling to support comprehension, oral language and writing.
