HOW IT WORKS
THIS IS THE STORY BOARD
The Story Board is on the inside flaps of the book. Those are the building blocks of your great stories. Notice that each section has a different color background.
THESE ARE THE PROMPT SYMBOLS
Each symbol is used for a PART OF SPEECH—nouns (people or animals), other types of nouns (things), even more types of nouns (places), adjectives (descriptions or emotions), verbs (actions), and relationships (which, like regular relationships, are a whole bunch of messy things at once: prepositions and propositions).
The colors are to help us communicate.
