Show and tell: close encounter

TLF ID L6193

Watch a short cartoon about seeing a lion on a forest path. Select noun groups, verb groups and phrases to create sentences and build a basic factual recount. Rearrange the word groups to create the best order in the sentences. Who was involved? What did they do? When, where or how did they do it? Add joining words, adverbs and adjectives to make the story clearer and more exciting. Choose a picture to go with the recount. This learning object is one in a series of four objects.
