Talking in detail/camera cameo

As a school we have been learning how to talk in detail. 
When we talk, we don't add details about what happened. Sometimes we talk like this 'and then... and then... and then...'

We have been doing camera cameo's to help us practice talking in detail.
How it works is one person will talk about something they did. For example what they did on the weekend. 
Miss Ashley draws pictures to help us remember the 'big' ideas, but doesn't record the details about that big ideas - we have to remember that all by ourselves. For example, the third picture below is a picture of a plate. It has food on it, but from the picture we can't tell what the food is. When Marlene told us her story aloud, she told us she had chicken sandwiches and lamb for lunch. That little detail is something we have to remember in our head.

Here is a quick video of students retelling Garth's weekend, trying to remember and add in the details of what happened.
