Picture Tales Storybooks

Post Contributed by Jocelyne Adkins, Program Director/Educator

This week our theme is storytelling. For today's class, we were inspired by a writing activity from the book "Show me a Story" by Emily K. Neuburger. Students were given several random  pictures (a person, a place and an animal) and then asked to write a story to explain how and why these images are connected. For parents seeking a solution to a child's "I'm bored!" exclamation, select a few magazines, find random pictures that catch your child's eye and create a story together, linking the images. 

The photos below provide a glimpse of the clever and imaginative stories that emerged from this activity ~ I wish I could have photographed every page. Kudos to the students for their engagement in this storytelling activity, it was rewarding to witness their process and to read the completed storybooks : )
