Ideas for stories can come from all sorts of interesting places. One way we have been developing our ideas is through dramatic play. You can ask your child what he/she was playing in the gym. Maybe he/she was running from a dragon, fishing, helping to save wildlife or playing on a professional hockey team. Through play, students develop characters, setting and plot. Their imaginations run wild!
Following play in the gym, students made audio recordings of their stories on ipads. This was a chance to record their ideas without worrying about conventions (e.g., spelling).
Now we are working on listening to the stories and writing them on paper. This is a chance for students to focus on printing and spelling, with the ideas already in place.
