Me and students discussed about various aspects of a Story. From characters to a plot to a beginning, middle and ending, Title and the moral. Students gave lot of inputs about their fav. characters and what all they want to write about...
The focus was mainly on how to give a structure approach to the story writing. So basically a step by step approach was designed:
1. Decide on few main characters (ideal number 4 to 5)
2. Brainstorming Phase: Then think what all the characters can do and think of various situations. If you can do this with 1 or 2 more students,even better. Team work! share ideas...
3. Then Start with the rough draft and create the initial part. Build the characters.
4. Then Bring in the twist or the main problem/issue..so words like "suddenly" and "Then" will come into picture. Middle part
5.How to solve that problem, what all did the main characters did and words like 'finally' will come into picture. Ending part.
Then revise it, fix the grammatical and spellings by checking from other sources too. Also draw some pictures as we see in our story books.
Think of Name (Title) of the story and Moral-what you learned from the story. (if anything)
Investment/Hook for the kids : Till now you just read other people stories if you can do this we can have 48 stories of our own and we can make a book of our class, the stories of superstars!
P.S: Will share the stories kids wrote in next couple of days.
