In this lesson, students create a wall story as a means of retelling a story. After hearing a picture book read aloud, students sketch their favorite part of the story. The pictures are shared with and sequenced by the class. Gaps in the storyline are identified and filled by groups of students. The entire story is then posted on a wall, in pictures, for use in a variety of later learning center activities, such as sequencing sentence strips, story mapping, performing reader’s theater and/or creating written retellings of the story.
