Denise Miller and Story-telling

The school had Denise Miller come visit again to tell more oral stories about First Nations people. After, my class re-told the stories by drawing pictures and summarizing the story into 6 main events and drawing into a comic-style drawing. Then the students were able to add thought and speech bubbles to their picture to show what some of the characters might be thinking or saying. As an extension to this, we will learn about using dialogue in a piece of writing and use the speech bubbles as an example for the words that should go inside quotation marks in a story. Here are some of our comics!
