Storytelling - Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Goldilocks and the Three Bears The next story I focused on was Goldilocks and the three bears. I used the same process as the previous story but this time I added some different deepening activities. This helps the children get the know the story in more detail and exposes them to more language features that they can use in their writing.  ·         Read different versions of the story and made comparisons. ·         Same process as above but this time we completed a Mood Map and discussed the feelings of the characters throughout the story. ·         Deepening: Created character descriptions with brainstorms of WOW words. Acted out the characters around the room and described how they looked, felt, liked, disliked.  ·         Imitation: Retold the story in writing. Character Description: Mood Map: My Findings: I found that the reluctant writers where more engaged as they were involved in acting out the characters and the discussions around the key words.  I also found that the writing produced had more rich language although it was still written in mainly simple sentences and there was not a very clear sequence of writing yet.
