The best place to go for information about this is to this wiki page: 5 Frame Storytelling - my friend Amanda first introduced me to this concept at Learning at school several years ago. Check out the Flickr group as well: Tell a story in 5 frames. This is the story my friend Mariee and I created during the workshop: Sliding

This is a wonderful way to tell stories - let the students 'go wild' with their imaginations - they could use objects or photos of themselves - think of it as freeze frames. Then add the writing aspect to it - writing a script is a wonderful way to encourage students to extend their writing ability and vocab. Juniors could create their stories using play equipment, then photograph them, and then write about them.

There is a general group on Flickr as well as the kids version - it would be helpful to view the general group to get ideas. @http://www.flickr.com/groups/visualstory/
