Pizzaz!...Story Boxes

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students tell stories, using an oral, free-flow method. The stories can then be literally transcribed or a retold version/interpretation of them can be written down after the telling. High-beginner ESL level. A terrific speaking skills activity.
