Rewriting a story
Yesterday, I had an engaging class with 10 to 13 year olds on rewriting a story. Earlier, we had done a comprehension and that was truly a comfort zone.
They were not prepared for this. But with slow prompts and adding a bit of drama and dialogue writing the tough task seemed interesting.
This explores their general knowledge, improves critical thinking and helps them get confident with new phrases and sentence starters.
Re-Telling a story is different from Re-writing it.
