Monday is blog day! The focus of today’s blog entry was to reflect upon the Tucker Tales storytelling contest. Students had to write two paragraphs – one describing the process of writing their story and the second describing how they felt being an audience member. While the class wrote, Ms. Tucker met with individuals about their previous blog entry and helped them change to be verbs into action verbs.
Homework: Finish your Tucker Tales reflection if you did not do so in class. The guidelines are as follows:
Paragraph One: Describe the process of writing your tale. How did you choose your topic? Why? Did you read it to anyone first before reading it to the class? When presenting to the class how did you feel about their reaction? What would you change in your story? Why?
Paragraph Two: Describe what it was like being an audience member. Which story was your favorite? Why? (It does note have to be one of the finalists). What should Ms. Tucker change about the presentation process?
