Story Mapping with 4 - Respect

Today, 25 July 2007, 4-Respect pupils did a picture composition on the title "A Fire" during the English lessons.

I had used the Pyramid approach before in helping them plan a composition. Today, I had used a different approach in writing a picture composition. The story mapping approach is very simple yet organised. It allows pupils to fill in relevant information into the respective categories, such as Main characters, supporting characters, setting, problem and solution. I had added in another category called Coda (for pupils to add in their reflections or the valuable lesson learned).

I am very glad that my PRC pupils find this strategy very useful for them. I am sure with more practices in the use of story-mapping, they would improve.
