Hi,
Having the students share their stories and receive critical criticism was helpful for the students. For homework, the students were asked to jot down ideas based on the criteria Sedina gave (5 characters, 1 animal, magic involved, etc.) for our class story. Not only did they jot down their ideas, many students wrote a new story! Its clear that the students are really excited. They are so eager that they want to start acting out their stories. Tomorrow and Friday the students will share their ideas with the class and I will make a list of these ideas. Based on these ideas, we will plan for a beginning, middle and end of the story together. I will then divide the students into 3 groups (beginning, middle and end) and ask them to write their part of the story. On Monday we will put the story together and make any revisions or changes needed.

Ha ha! I love it! Sona, can you post some bots of their stories? Or instead of typing it all over again - photograph the pages and add them as images to the blog. (a trick I use!)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be hard to narrow it down to one story!
