This is a creepy slide story with visuals and captions. Present this to students and read it to them. The fictional story is about an unexplained phenomena with the moon. It's so beautiful it turns people mad!

2. Read the meme. Make sure to write a translation on the board of any new words that students do not understand.
3. Ask the students: "¿Quién tiene esta experiencia?" Ask other questions to g

There are 35 story scripts that are simple and super interesting that any teacher of any level of any language class can use for TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling).

This is especially helpful for teachers just starting out with TPRS. Focusing on just making sure the kids acquire one stru
This is a story script I created based off of the structures from Look, I Can Talk!, the teaching manual for TPR Storytelling. The stories in the manual are not very interesting and they are not repetitive or simple enough, so I created stories based off of Anne Matava's three location script style for all of the structures from Look, I Can Talk!
This is the story script I created for chapter 1 lessons 1-3.
