Collage Story Telling and download

Grab some old magazines, glue sticks, and scissors and let the kids spend an hour putting together an art collage story.  I tried explaining to Olive that the pictures could be whatever she wanted and glued in any direction she would like. This is how her neat collage turned out....

I then had her tell me a story with the photos she chose for her collage. I loved it, but it was a very long story. I asked her to tell me another story prompting her with these "about" questions and she came up with a very funny one.

Who: A tall girl named Curly.

What: She wanted to travel, but was too busy with work so she snuck out of work to go.

Where: She traveled to Italy.

When: Yesterday, but she liked it so much she decided to stay.

Why: It was so pretty and she had a big house.

It may be my years as a reporter, but getting to the meat and bones of a story is important.

 

  

Jem loves to cut and paste too...her collage is a little more abstract!
