Frog,
Where Are You?
•Ability to tell stories:
•Frog, Where Are You—24 page picture
book
Children and adults are asked to
represent the (pictorially presented)
characters linguistically, and relate them in terms of their actions across time and space in the form of a
cohesive/coherent narrative.
•
References did not necessarily
"originate" from the pictures: Narrators of the picture story - often - chose to
override a pictorially presented
facial expression of one of the characters with a reference to the "opposite" emotion. For instance, a
boy, whose face was obviously
expressing anger, and who was linguistically referred to as angry when the picture was presented as a single, isolated picture, was referred to as happy (by the
same subject three minutes
later) when referring to this picture in the narrating activity of establishing the Frog,
Where Are You? story
