Collaboration through Storytelling
Friends working towards a common goal of creating the set for their production.
- Sascha and Angela work to retell a portion of the story. Angela is Goldilocks, Sascha chose to be the porridge/narrator! Who knew such a character existed?
During Writer’s Workshop this week, we have been retelling the story of Goldilocks using puppets in small groups. Yesterday, the kids created their puppets and started making scenery for their productions. Today, our friends were encouraged to begin working together to retell their story and work as a team. They have been dramatizing their stories with great dedication. Miss Schmidt and I were absolutley blown away by the kids’ display of negotiation, sharing, compromise, collaboration, and including of others. We realized that while they are practicing rich reading and writing skills by retelling in this way, our friends are probably getting just as much out of practicing working together, genuinely collaborating, and working towards a common goal. A sheer joy to be a part of today.
Da'Sean, Carriea, and Sascha come up with a new way to build. How did they do it? Putting their brains together!
