From the lens ESL Lessons: Story Writing for Elementary Students.

I don't pretend to be any sort of expert on ESL Story Writing, but this system has worked quite well in my lessons in the past. I hope it can help others to induce their students to write something intelligible. There are probably a lot of holes in this little piece of advice, so I'm very happy to receive your comments in the place provided here.

    A great lens on learning English as a second language. Those who are not native English speakers can also take advantage of free translation tools for Firefox and other major browsers that provide instant translation free of charge. Thanks.

    Great lense Ill be following this advise as Im a new teacher. One question, The cartoon strip with the child in pajamas flouting in a bed, where is that from? Ive been trying to find a story I remember from my childhood where a boy floats around in space drinking milk from bottles and havent had any luck finding it and this looks similar!

    This is a beautiful lens full of great ideas. My students like storywriting as a class. I just built my own lens if you want to check it out...http://www.squidoo.com/can-do-wida

    Another excellent lens! Even for EFL (is that a "word") this is a useful idea.

    Yes, basically this allows the teacher to keep things under their control and lead the students in the right direction.[in reply to spirituality]

    Great idea - also makes sure the kids are not inventing stories they don't have the words for yet (or too many new words). And by selecting the series of pictures well, you can go around making sure they learn words from all kinds of social and physical situations.
