Transcript
As an extension activity for our applesauce making I made some sentence strips, and just took the same sentences from our procedure. When I was making the story strips I used some real photographs to help the child remember what the step was, because at this stage some of the children aren't reading, but they can read the pictures. Then the children have to organize them in the correct order. So we put them on the floor and they come up and they put them in the correct order. And they really like this activity as well.
Activity Objective
The goal of Making it Real!: Using Sentence Strips with Pictures to Retell a Lived Experience (Virtual Tour) is to promote the enjoyment of books and appreciation for the usefulness of reading and writing through a hands-on experience.
Quick Tips
Additional Comments:
- Provide students with real-life and authentic experiences by setting up centers related to a theme.
