Stories, Stories, So Many Parts


In our 2nd Case Study, we are learned all about the parts of a story.  We firmly believe that readers aren't just people who can read the words, but rather people who read the words, talk about the story and think about what is happening.  Our first step has been to practice retelling.  We have worked hard to learn all about characters, setting, problem/solution and beginning, middle and end.  


Students have collaborated in small groups to read a text over several days and describe each of the story elements in a note catcher.  After a week of becoming familiar with the books and all the story elements, students embarked on the journey of story acting.


Students collaborated in small groups to practice parts and design costumes.  Each group presented to the class.  



What an exciting way to teach others about our stories and a fun way to remember what we read!
