I can across this link on another list and it looked like a really neat idea for narration especially if your kids like to draw. It is simply a flowchart where you draw a picture and then write what happened below it, and when put it all together you get a story.It is more in depth than a single picture narration and yet not as extensive as a lapbook. The idea came from this page at mrcoley.com, the web site of a fifth grade teacher. He also has a pdf available describing it. My kids' pictures won't be as nice as these but I think they will enjoy the process and improve their note-taking skills.

I love flowcharts. I hadn't considered using them for narrations, per se. Thanks for the great idea. They work well for plot diagrams when analyzing literature.
I love this idea. I haven't been able to keep up with lap books, and this flow chart is an efficient way to get it all down. Thanks!
