Looking for text and descriptiong of "The Snowman"

Post by laiyuda » Tue May 30, 2006 7:00 am

Dear all,

I am a Ph.D. student in linguistics in Taiwan. I"m recently interested in second language acquisiton, specifically on aspect acquisition of EFL learners in Taiwan. I want to collect the data based on narratives; thus I decided to use illustrations for them in the writing task. I found "The Snowman" by Raymond Briggs a good one for my students to start with.

But, I still want to design a cloze-test like passage for the students after they finish their own writing so that I can do a cross-comparison about their distribution of aspects. Does anyone have the description or text that describes the illustrations in this book?

The original story had no text, of course, so whatever text you create for it *is* the text. There is a textbook version created by Briggs and Gail Ellis out of Oxford University Press that has a script in the back.
