In Writer's Workshop, we continue to work on our oral storytelling. As we remind the kids all the time...if you can think it, you can say it. And if you can say it, you can write it! One technique we use for storytelling is our Triangle Share. We put the students in groups of three. Each person has a job in the group. One person tells a story, a second person asks questions when they finish the story, and the third person makes comments. The artifact you see on the floor helps the kids remember their jobs. When they finish one round, the artifact with the triangle is turned so each person now has a new job for the round. This goes until each person in the group has had the chance to do all three jobs. The kids love it and we will work lots more on this in January.
After we practice our storytelling, questions and comments, it is time for us to get to work in our writing journals.
