Pre-K

I got assigned two pre-k students to create a book made by them with my help of putting it together. Each day we worked on coming up with different components of the story and combined both of their ideas together into one book. On the first few days we came up with characters and plots. We later worked on what the climax would be and then eventually how it resulted in the end. It was fun hearing their creativity be put onto paper through their drawing and by how they described the story to me.

Although this was fun, we did struggle some days. Some days my students didn't want to draw and other days they didn't want to speak. One of them had a hard time staying on topic and would try to distract my other student, but she was able to pull it together. They also had a hard time coming up with new parts of the story so they would just repeat a scene even if I already reviewed what we had so far. So, it was challenging to get them to create new plots and situations in the story.

We were successful with coming up with characters and letting the story flow together. They even came up with a climax on their own. They listened well to what I wanted from them and were able to create their own story and worked so well together to do it. I was very happy working with these two!
