The teacher Nancy engages her students in creating a story, one person at a time. Note how each child contributes at their own ability level and all is good. Note also the person interpreting with sign language for a deaf student in the class. Note how the teacher asks questions about the unfolding story and how smiles and laughter let you know the children are “into” the story they are creating. The children then go to tables to write and illustrate their personal story. Note that they room is organized to engage pair and group work.
