Writing my own story

Student	Corban	Date	7 April 2008
		Observer	Julie (teacher)

Today, at story writing time, Corban started off drawing a picture and then came to dictate the accompanying story to me so that I could write it underneath. The bug, Bobby, that he had brought to class a few days ago, was still providing a subject of interest and his drawing was of another bug. We discussed what the bug was doing and Corban told me the bug was eating a chocolate muesli bar.

Fantastic language Corban!

Corban was thrilled that he had communicated a funny story about the bug and wanted to write it for himself. He took the book to his desk and wrote over and under the letters, independently, without being asked.

Corban was so proud sitting in the sharing circle, reading his story to the other children.
