We are all well aware of the importance of comprehensible input in our classrooms, and to support this many of us use stories as the way to do it. Do you use short stories, novels or graphic novels or comprehensible (CI) readers with your students? I’m excited to see that many teachers are using and leveraging texts with their students. I want to take this a step further in this episode and tell you about a project that engages students creatively with story details and newly acquired vocabulary and structures.
