In this lesson, students create a wall story as a means of retelling a story. After hearing a picture book read aloud, students sketch their favorite part of the story. The pictures are shared with and sequenced by the class. Gaps in the storyline are identified and filled by groups of students. The entire story is then posted on a wall, in pictures, for use in a variety of later learning center activities, such as sequencing sentence strips, story mapping, performing reader’s theater and/or creating a written retelling of the story.

Purpose and Target Audience of Site: This is a particular lesson plan from a site with many lesson plans you can choose from based on grade, subject and art subject.
How it could be used for teaching or learning: This lesson provides a way to look at stories through the use of illustration. Students will become more familiar with important story elements such as character, setting, and plot. Additionally, they will have to work together once they have created their illustrations to put them in sequential order, which will aid in their comprehension. The Wall Story, once complete, can be used for a variety of independent literacy building activities as well such as: sequencing sentence strips from the story using the wall story as a guide, learning vocabulary by tacking vocab cards to relevant pictures on the wall (bonus for ELL students), and having the students orally retell the story to each other.
