Story Impressions
Description:
The story impressions strategy arouses students’ curiosity and enables them to use “clue” words that are associated with events, characters, and settings so they can write their own versions of the story PRIOR to reading the original. The clues words and phrases are taken directly from the reading and should be arranged on a list in the order they appear in the story. The list should give the students an overall impression of the story that they will use to write predictions about the major events. After reading the story, students will compare their versions with the original. (When used with non-fiction text, its title is Text Impressions) How to Use the Strategy:
