Draw a story: Stepping from pictures to writing
http://www.readwritethink.org/lessons/lesson_view.asp?id=45
A lesson plan for grades 1–2 English Language Arts
In this ReadWriteThink lesson, students draw a series of pictures that tell a simple story that includes character action, problem and solution. They ‘read’ their story to others, transcribe it into writing, and create an accordion book with the drawings and writing. The activity supports the transition from oral to written storytelling.
