Let a character notice something different

Whose eyes are we using? Keep the event. Change what the character notices.

Choose one way to try. You can pause, pass, point, talk, dictate, draw or write.

Choose a way

Use a pebble-shaped scrap and a paper ferry or puppet. Point to one place each character could notice, then tell or dictate the retelling.

Listen to the entire original story. Give the child scene choices and time to think; no acting, loud sound or personal story sharing is required.

Use three genuinely empty panels or a paragraph. Caption the same event from a new viewpoint and explain one changed detail.

My reader or character

My question, message or noticing

What I kept or changed

The paper work sheet has more room.
