Story and Illustration

What is a story, what does story mean?
"It (a story) means like you tell somebody what happened." -Nora
What does it mean to read something? 

"Memorizing is just remembering what happens in the story," replied Nora, "and it means you have to spell, and then you have to say it."

​"Yeah but first you have to write and then you can read, cuz then you can read like the words," commented Maxon. 



"Can there be more than one rat story?" -Lochie

Our interest in stories along with our investment in exploring rats has invited and inspired the idea of creating a story about our (beloved) rats. Working toward this aim, we have been focusing on elements of books and stories and illustration is integral to creating a story book. We set up our low table with a variety of books to highlight a variety of illustration styles, techniques, and materials used to make the image.  
"They (illustrators) draw the pictures. You can illustrate with collaging." -Lochie

"First I want to color it in and then layer it with a bunch of colors." -Sylvie

Story and Stop Motion

As a digital tool for encouraging and supporting the learning of storytelling we introduced StopMotion on the iPad. The children took to it very quickly and had lots of fun!
