Culminating Activity Day One
Students will push their desks to the side of the room and sit in a circle (or semi-circle). They will be presenting their culminating activities to the class. The presentation should be about five minutes, with students explaining a little bit about their story and why it was important to them. They may wish to pass around their artwork or play all/a clip from the story they made, time permitting.
Give a copy of the evaluation worksheet to two students in the class before each presentation, so students will have input from peers on their creative stories.
Ten minutes before the end of class, ask students to reflect briefly on each other's stories--Are any of them connected to each other in some way? What techniques were most popular for sharing stories? Are there any stories that remind you of another text or a song? Why? Be sure to return the desks to their proper positions.
