I recently found an interesting post on "Nik's Daily English Activities" blog. This post describes an interesting activity that can be used in the classroom when it comes to writing. While student teaching, I noticed that some students have trouble being specific in their writing. This exercise would help just that. The post is titled: "Read and Write Very Short Stories". Five card stories is when you form a very short story out of five photographs. I thought this would be great in the classroom, especially in a writing unit. Students could be given the opportunity to take their own pictures, or use pictures they can find on the Internet to create a story. By having students create a short story on only five pictures, students would further develop their ability to be specific and to the point. I thought that this was a great activity and I would definitely try and use it in my classroom.
