For the first few months of the year, third graders have been working on the art of storytelling, as well as story structure and play structure. We examined the pieces of a story or play: Narrator, Cast of Characters, Conflict, Plot, and Beginning, Middle and End as well as worked on acting and creating with both original and scripted stories. Students improvised stories while their classmates acted and worked in groups to create short original stories by creating frozen pictures that represented the beginning, middle and end of their ideas. Above, you will see some examples of some of these ideas. See if you can tell what the story might be about based on the beginning, middle and end pictures!
