Does this story sound familiar to you? Yes! You guessed it! It’s the story of Snow White, extracted from Grimm’s Fairy Tales. The teacher will read this story aloud in class while a wide range of images from different sources of the tale will be projected on the whiteboard for you to watch the pictures and follow the narrative in a meaningful way. Once the teacher has finished, you will be asked to cut the text into different pieces and match them with the images already seen in class. Both the story and the pictures can be found on the following link. When you have finished, play the audio story above and check the order of your text pieces!
