The children recently finished publishing their favorite personal narrative story. They chose from a variety of publishing options and were eager to share their stories with an audience.
As we know that authors write to share their ideas with others, we decided to share our stories with other students in Kindergarten, Grade One and Grade Two.
Students practiced reading their stories orally in order to get ready for their readings. They received feedback from classmates on a Read Aloud Checklist in order to help them improve their presentation.
Their stories were well-received by the students! Keep reading to see how we felt about the experience.
Brandon -Before I read I was very scared and nervous but when I was reading, it was easy.
Ellis - I liked it when we were practicing reading because we got to read to the whole class.
Ethan - When I got up to the little kids I felt like I was getting a shot at the doctor’s office because I was nervous.
Hae-Lim - I felt excited to share my story because I liked the problem in my story getting bigger and bigger.
Jesstina I liked it because I read loudly and clearly and the class sat nicely and listened.
Josh - It was very fun and a little bit scary reading to the first graders because I thought they might not like my story but they told me they liked it.
Jungyoon - It was hard to read slowly because I was nervous, but I think I kind of did it!
Lily - It was fun to read the book to my sister and brother and their class because I liked the story. I think they liked it too.
Nikki - I thought it was fun because the kindergarten was listening to my story.
Oh-Min - I was shy because all of the students looked at me.
Ta - I think it was fun when we shared the stories because we are the characters in the stories.
Tamar - I thought that it was exciting to have an audience because if we want to be teachers when we get big it’ll be easy to read stories to our children.
Thanakorn - It was hard to say the words slow because I talk fast at home, but I did it.
Tobias - First I felt scared because I thought my story was bad but then I felt normal. It was nice telling it.
Tres - It was funny that Ty (my brother) was smiling because when he laughs I laugh with him too.
Ya’el - It was so much fun! I felt like a teacher when I read because I saw the students looking at me!
