SEPTEMBER – SWAP A STORY
For the month of September we are going to take a slightly different approach to the physical swapping of stories and instead swap stories by swapping the author and writer of the story in a Junior School progressive story writing attempt.
Progressive Story Writing in the JS Library
As each class comes to the library for their library session, they will add to the story prompt (one line per class). We are going to add to the story starter the “Blue Monster Story Starter”.
This story will be available via a collaborative document (and on the JS Library OPAC home page) and via a hard copy.
