Does anyone have any really simple story scripts that elementary CI teachers could use? We have two categories already for simpler scripts:
Really Short Stories
Story Scripts, Simple
Those categories have some stories but they were made before we had that excellent discussion last year about micro or super mini stories and some of us decided that an excellent thing to add into our teaching was these really focused super short stories featuring at most two verbs and just a few lines.
It’s an area we can work on, those of us at the secondary level who want a transition time between early year TPR/verb slamming and full stories, something we could do sometime in the fall. And the other group that could really use these micro stories is of course elementary CI teachers.
We just don’t have any. I am clear that we don’t need such scripts, because many of us have gotten to where we can spin a story out of a verb, but I have always been partial to scripts, and I think it would be cool to have some available here for those days when we feel like doing one.
So I will add a category – Super Mini Stories – and if you get one think of us here and I will add it into this new category. (I define really good super mini stories as ones that are super short and grab interest and feature only one verb or, this is the best, two verbs that “work” really well together and that can be done in fifteen minutes or so for those antsy younger kids – it’s a tall order!).
