i would also start with a picture. share the story orally and
then write about remind them that you only want to discuss and
write what you see on the picture not what you did next. then
extend their language and writing by using show not tell. instead
of I was tired you would make a list of what tired looks like I
was stetching my arms out I was yawning etc. then revise even
more by using your senses to add details to their writing you will
end up with a small moment with rich descriptive vocab
Hope this helps.
