Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
The Grade 2 classes began an exciting new project this week called Storyteller's Workshop. Starting with the idea that everyone has a story to tell, students have been writing up a storm! This week began with students writing for the purpose of entertaining the reader. Their stories could be made up or something from their real life. We had stories about a Mom who forgot her coffee on the roof of the car, Minecraft, finding $5.00 in a parking lot and we can't certainly can't forget the story about Mrs. Bradley eating so much pizza that she exploded. Our classroom was filled with writing and laughter. Our writing got a little bit more challenging when students were asked to write with the purpose of teaching someone something. Most students chose to teach the reader about themselves by writing about their family or past. One student described her bedroom in excellent detail, right down to the polka dot curtains. Another student wrote about being born in Fort McMurray and many students wrote about their Elf on the Shelf arriving. A very special part of our storyteller's workshop is sharing our stories. We gather around the fire and students take turns sharing what they've wrote. Students also take turns providing the reader with "Kind Feedback" and "Helpful Feedback". It truly is a magical part of our morning. Our storyteller's workshops will continue over the next few weeks as we practice writing for different purposes.
