Stories are a wonderful way for children to express themselves and what is going on in the world around them. Much can be learned from the words they print to the pictures that they draw to help us understand how they are feeling. For example, as you have students create their own stories about the environment of living and non living organisms in their own back yards they can learn more about how living and non living organisms work together.
Stories can express any subject matter with a greater degree of interest for students, and allowing them to create their own stories gives them experience with writing as well as processing all that is going on in their minds out onto paper.
As they see their stories in print and visually see images they gain a greater sense of accomplishment that they themselves created this very project and it is enjoyable and they will hopefully have a desire to share with others their stories.
