A story from a picture

Draw something in the box — a place, a person, a moment — then use the questions to turn it into a story. A picture is a source of inspiration, which is exactly what Alberta asks for.

Who is there?
What do they want?
What is in the way?
What happens?

The four questions are the shape of every story there is: someone wants something and something is in the way. A child who can answer them has a plot, whatever they draw.

Why this matters is on the reading and writing page. More sheets
