Instructional Ideas

• Direct pupils to label their pictures 
• Create a page that pupils can write on instead of directly on the poster
• If working with younger learners, have them dictate their story as you write in highlighter that can later be traced over with pencil

• Requires craft supplies to complete the activity 

Pros

• The activity sparks creativity and the use of imagination
