Cathy: How will we start?

Joji: Well, I want you to think of a sentence out of these pictures.

(colorful wave transition)

(the scene is Jack and Jill walking on the hill)

Joji: Okay, let's start with this.

Cathy: Easy! 'Jack and Jill went up the hill.'

(the sentence pops up below in red)

Joji: You have the doers or the subject, 'Jack and Jill', and the action or the predicate, 'went up the hill'. That means this is a sentence! Good job, Cathy!

(the scene is Jill fetching water)

Joji: Now, let's move on to this picture. Can you make a sentence from this?

Cathy: 'Jill fetched water from the well.'

(the sentence pops up below in red)

Joji: Which is the doer and which is the action? (pause) Right! 'Jill' is the doer, and the action is 'fetched water from the well!'

(the scene is a dizzy Jack with a broken crown)

Joji: How about...this picture? can you think of a simple sentence for this? It can be 'Jack fell down.'

(the sentence pops up below in red)

Joji: We have our doer, 'Jack', and the aciton 'fell down'. Good job, guys!
