What an unbelievable treat we enjoyed today! In celebration of our summer reading, we were treated to a performance by storyteller, Len Cabral. We were spellbound from the very beginning of the presentation! He told us stories, talked to us about our own writing and storytelling, and taught us important life lessons! We learned that it's important to speak your mind, not be a bully, and build bridges between friends. We noticed SO MANY of the writers' craft techniques we've been discussing in Writers' Workshop - dialogue, feelings, and telling the important parts of our stories in s-l-o-w m-o-t-i-o-n! We left the presentation inspired, excited, and glad we did our summer reading! Thank you, Kennedy PCC for another amazing enrichment opportunity!
Check out these YouTube videos of Len Cabral storytelling! Notice how his stories are very, very small "seed" stories - not watermelons! Try to see if you can learn the lesson, theme, or message of each story, too! Enjoy...
