Suggested steps to follow:
  1. Students fold a page in their book into 4 boxes
  2. The Teacher reads the first paragraph of the story of Ramses.
  3. When the teacher stops reading the students have 4 minutes to draw a picture of 'what happened'.
  4. The teacher continues with the rest of the story, stopping at the end of each paragraph for the students to draw a picture.
  5. When all four boxes have a picture in them, the students retell the story in their own words (referring back to their pictures)

An alternative to this could be a cartoon strip based on the story.
