Oral Story Telling

Each student was given the opportunity to tell his/her own story, though we had just a few who were still too shy.  Most of the students really enjoyed sharing, and I think would have liked to tell more than one.  This activity was done as the first part of our Writer's Workshop, so that each student could discover they have lots of stories to tell, which will be helpful in a few weeks when they begin to draw and write their own stories.  This activity also covered another language arts standard for speaking appropriately to adults and peers.
