Then we made a Text Map

Task : We are going to make our own version of the Fish Alive poem

We are going to add anything we like

1. Open presentation software (such as PowerPoint or Paint).

Note: If you are using an iPad you could use SketchPad

2. Search online for relevant pictures.

3. Paste those pictures to create your own text map of Fish Alive

4. Rearrange the pictures so that you can eventually tell the story in your own way (innovation)

Extension / Move ahead : Open a Word file and write a new version of the story based on your text map. You can be as creative as you like.
