Tell a Tall Tale

Teacher Instructions

   The students are instructed to use the five pictures provided to form an original story.  They will use a word processing program to cut and paste the pictures from the internet.  Once the pictures are pasted onto the word document, they will narrate a story.
Things to keep in mind:
      * Make sure the students understand how to move the pictures around on the page.  Also, help the children with the pictures so that they are not haphazardly placed around the page.  The best way to do this is to right click on the image, then choose format object, then layout.  From here, choose the option that works best for the page.  By choosing tight , the words will be close to the picture, making it easier to form the story around them.
       * Encourage students to use the pictures in any order.  Not all stories will be the same, so not all the pictures will be in the same order.
