Pretend you are one of the birds and narrate a story.

Choose 3-5 pictures; let students choose 3-5 pictures;
decide on a sequence; make up a story to go with the pictures;
write/tell the story; colour the pictures; make story and pictures into a book.

Choose 6-12 words from the word list and write a story using these.
