StoryBoard - Text Reconstruction
Reconstruct a whole paragraph or story starting from ZERO!
Instructions
- Each storyboard begins without any words - only a series of = signs.
- Look at the list of proper nouns that are used. These include people's names, places and so on.
- Guess common words first such as articles, pronouns and prepositions.
- Try "grammar words" such as modal verbs, conjunctions, auxiliary verbs and negative/quantifier words.
- Remember to capitalize words such as months of the year - and words at the beginning of sentences need capital letters too!
- You must also include apostrophes. "its" is not the same as "it's" so you need to try both.
- Speech marks are shown as << and >> symbols. For example: << Don't be late tonight,>> my mother said.
- Remember to try contractions: I'm, she'll, we've, he's, etc.
- Eventually, you will fill out enough of the text to see what it is about.
