Each class has a story that is made of multiple individual stories.  Yet some students don't know their story beyond what they see everyday.  In order to understand who they are they need to explore themselves, family members and maybe even neighbors.

I found a site that has activities that will help students to conduct interviews in order to compile their story. 

It is important to add that the story is a work in progress because their lives have just begun.

STORYTELLING

Here are some websites on storytelling. I think these sites will make reading and writing stories a little bit more fun and interesting!!!

Another way I want to teach storytelling is with the use of Ambiguous Figures. I would like to start with the pictures Paul showed us in class.
