A picture really is worth a thousand words! I remember using this fun activity. First, cut out and laminate a high-interest magazine picture (or use a personal photograph). Attach the picture to the top of poster board. At the left end of each line, write a punctuation mark. Challenge each student to write a sentence that relates to the picture and contains the punctuation mark. Use the sentences to write your own story about the photograph. This is a great review of punctuation usage and writing complete sentences! Ready to give it a try?
Hey buddy, got any fish?
There is a cute children's book called "Pelican Pete" and more Pelican photos that you can read from an older post of mine here.
What a beautiful day!
"A young boy, who has never seen the sea, asks his mother to describe it. From there, Zolotow carefully chooses her words to create a poem full of the colors, sounds, and sights of a day at the beach. Minor's softly detailed renderings reinforce the gentle mood."
