Are you familiar with the 5 Card Nancy game? Scott McLoud invented the game based on the premise that any 5 panels from any of Ernie Bushmiller's Nancy comic strips can be combined to tell a story. Alan Levine then extended this concept to create the 5 Card Flickr game.
The idea has evolved into something more than a parlor game. It has become an exercise in storytelling that teachers use to engage students and get their creative juices flowing. Check out the links at the bottom of this page to learn more about 5 Card Nancy, 5 Card Flickr, and what this kind of storytelling looks like in the classroom.

We used this activity after lunch at a MLTI Leadership meeting. We wrote the stories, put the photos into iPhoto, then used Garage Band to make an enhanced podcast with audio of the story being read and the five pictures. This same activity could be done with KeyNote as well. I thought it was a really neat way to get the juices flowing.
