On Wednesday, October 31 we visited the Singapore Botanic Gardens rainforest area to collect ideas for our writing. We were so intrigued by all the beautiful sights and sounds and had so much fun thinking of ideas for stories. After making sketches, writing word list, and taking videos and photos using the ipads, we each planned our stories using a beginning, middle, and end template. When we got back to school our Grade 4 buddies helped us to start our stories. Later in the week, we reviewed the photos and videos we collected and added to our ideas and plans, before completing our stories.
As part of our unit of inquiry and literacy lessons, Grade 1AC has been pursuing an investigation into creative writing using our imaginations. We have focused our attention on the natural world around us and inquired into how we can view it from different perspectives. We have been inspired by books such as Alice in Wonderland (in which Alice grows big and small) and Not a Stick (in which a stick is thought of as everything but a stick).
