We've recently transitioned our writing from Personal Narratives to Fictional Stories containing a beginning, middle and end. The transition has proven a bit difficult as the Kinders love to continue to write about what is near and dear...moms, flowers, and butterflies!
This little guy took to the transition well and worked very hard on his story! We've chosen to do the story in three parts as it supports the way we have been visualizing and completing these stories in class. If I can figure out how to put them together into one file, I will!
This is great. It's amazing how kids can explain their thinking orally, but it does take time to transition to the writing part of literacy.
ReplyDeleteLove this! I like the idea of separating the story into smaller chunks to provide a tangible representation of beginning, middle, and end. Sequencing is a tricky concept, but this little guy certainly seems to be getting the hang of it!
ReplyDeleteiMovie works great for easily seaming videos together.
