For all those younger (and older) perfectionists who cannot cope with being corrected...
For all those who are reluctant to even put pen to paper for fear of failure...
this one's for you...
Try oral story telling.
Here we used a visual story box to encourage the imagination and still discussed the ingredients needed for a great story, but instead of writing it down, we did it over and over again orally.
This allowed for us to keep improving, tweaking, adding and rearranging.. and my gosh.. i was BLOWN OVER by the incredible work the students accomplished.
I jotted away while their imaginations ran wild and kept poking for different sentence structure, increased description and various creative techniques and nobody was disappointed in themselves, frustrated with spellings, or bored with writing.
Genius! ✏️✏️
