This activity provides writing practice using the target language．

Have the students look at the seven pictures． Tell the children that the pictures are connected to each other in an order．

Ask: What is happening to Ming?

Get the whole class to read the instructions． Then ask the students to describe each picture in order． Write some useful sentences on the blackboard． For example, for the first picture, help the students to say Ming wakes up at 10:00 and thinks she is late for school．

The sentences can vary．

After describing each picture, ask the students to write a story about Ming’s day on their own． Walk around the room offering language support if needed．

After a while, ask a few students to tell the class about Ming’s day． Let the rest of the class help correct the mistakes that they may have made．

Tell them to exchange their articles with their partners and help each other correct the mistakes． Ask the students to rewrite their articles to make the articles perfect after class．
