The Story Writing Group

Our students were invited to apply to join one of three groups that would investigate narrative and how it could be expressed in different ways.
The Story Writing group had a rich background to bring to this project. A major focus in their prior learning was developing a lively interest in books through book clubs, conversations about books and discussions about authors. To initiate the inquiry we discussed the things we needed to know about or learn in order to create a story from beginning to end.
Characters needed to be created and given personalities, possible story lines needed to be developed and settings decided upon. We looked at the many different ways a story can be presented and it was decided we would use panels to depict the visual images our story provoked.
Team work, collaboration, negotiation, making choices and reflecting on the process as it grew and became more refined was a continuous part of our project work.
Thanks to our hard working, creative and very talented team, we are proud of our achievements.
