Sharing Methods: To Document Camera not?

Beth (Empress of WW) just made a great point...have the kids hold their piece and share without using the document camera. She said that kids will "read" more language aloud than they have on their paper. The verbal part is a big goal for them right now. I'm going to try this during Monday's share meeting and compare the difference.

  1. I've been doing this and it really does seem to work. They tell their stories rather than reading their stories! BTW... I LOVE the blog!

  2. I think that the kids had real difficulty going back to a story they already finished to embellish and add to... lots of kids wanted to start a new piece- didn't get to everyone to conference so I don't know if kids who didn't have a conference do what was asked.
