Look at the three pictures. Make notes.

Who is in each picture? Give the person a name. Where is the person? What is around them? What happens in each picture?

Think about what you want to say. Remember, your story must have a beginning (Picture 1), a middle (Picture 2), and an end (Picture 3).

Write your story.

El primer paso es ver los tres dibujos y tomar notas sobre que pasa en cada dibujo. Identifica:

?Qui?n est? en cada dibujo? Dale un nombre. ?D?nde est? la persona? ?Qu? tiene alrededor? ?Qu? pasa en cada dibujo?

Piensa en lo que quieres decir. Recuerda que tu cuento tiene que cubrir los tres dibujos, empezando con el primero (principio), continuando con el segundo (medio), y terminando con el tercero (fin / desenlace).

Escribe tu cuento.

Como ?ltimo paso, ?lee tu cuento otra vez! Corrige los errores de estilo, gram?tica y punctuaci?n.
