Tell a Story in 5 Frames with Flickr

How could you use this activity to support literacy?

I would use this tool in order to break down skills. I could show a sequence of frames that display a movement from start to finish. For example, the first frame could be a bowler beginning his approach by stepping with the opposite foot. The second frame would display the "push away" as the bowler pushes the ball away from them and begins the backswing. The third frame would show the back swing and step, the fourth the follow throw and toe drag. I could then have the students describe what is going on in each frame to assess their knowledge of the proper form and terminology. Using photos taken in class of the students would add a personal touch and provide some extra motivation.
