Narration Jar

We are a little tired of narrating every reading from AO Year 1.
So, it has been suggested to try the Narration Jar.
We pick a slip of paper after every reading from the Narration Jar, and narrate using the suggestion on the paper.
We're all set to go.
Printed, laminated and cut up, all we need to do is read, narrate, read, narrate, read, narrate!

Narration Jar Ideas (not mine)

Draw a picture from your reading.

Tell me everything you can remember about the reading.

Tell me the story back in your own words.

Answer questions Mama asks about the reading.

Ask Mama questions about the reading.

Let your animals or dolls act out the story.

Narrate to Mama.

Write down five sentences about what you read.

Play dice narration game - not quite sure what this game is, yet.

Think about another story or even that reminds you of what you just read about. Tell Mama about it.

Write down three sentences about what you read.

If you were giving a test on this reading, what are three questions you would ask?

Skip the narration today.

Model something out of play-dough while you tell me the story.

Write a letter about the story. Pretend you are one of the characters.

Draw and label a map based on the reading.

Copy two important or interesting quotations from the reading.

Draw a portrait and write a short description of a person or character
in the reading.

Write two important facts or events from the reading.

Tell me how someone in the reading behaved.

Find and define two new or important words from the reading.

Mama narrates today!
