Help needed with wall stories

Submitted by Admin (06-11-2012)

« Back to Ask a Teaching Question

I am embarking on my internship in a year two class. One of the activities my teacher would like me to do is a wall story (using a specific text) with the students. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to go about this? I have found some information about them and was curious as to how other teachers would conduct this activity. Thanks heaps, Brenda

Have a look in the First Step Resource books for ideas and the purpose behind the activity.

One idea is to mix chdn's illustrations with photocopies from the book to show the sequence of events. This works really well with simple text books. eg Rod Campbell's books. Photocopying pages with flaps to reveal pictures underneath looks good too.
Enlarge the text and match pictures to text and then sequence.
Paste on to a long strip of paper. You can add background mural scenery too (really good for Hairy MacLary etc books where you're showing a journey).
Or draw pictures in black permanent marker and have chdn paint mural with water colours. Add text strips.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
