Final task - Classroom collaborative storytelling

Collaborative storytelling

The collaborative story created is entitled ´The potato farmer`

Planning

The collaborative storytelling has been planned to be dealt with in 3 different sessions of about 50 minutes each of the sessions.
Design

The aim of the activity is to get the students to create a story by adding 2 or three lines each of the them. In order to do so, I got my students to access ´twiddla`.

I consider this application quite adecuate to get the classroom going straight into the story telling – and avoiding messy registrations and so on. ´Twiddla`allows anyone to access the story and contribute to it – without any othere requirements. It´s goes straight to the activity!

Implementation

Step 1 – Students are told the story about a potato farmer. I myself told them. They just listened and retained the information.

Step 2 – After they have listened the story some comprehension questions are asked.

Step 3 – The final question is Did the farmer really have the money?

Students try to explain the story in their own words and explain what was going on.

Step 4 – I then told the students that they were going to reproduce the story I had just told them about. In order to do so they were going to access:

https://www.twiddla.com/

in their laptops.

Once they entered the page they found themselves with a brief introduction made by myself. The intro is of about 3 lines.

Students then continued the story they had been told about. Each contribution was numbered to follow an order. The students signed each contribution.

The final task which was done in class was to print the story and cut each contribution in different chunks of paper (flashcards).

The students were then told to re-order the story to make it have some sense.

Assessment - Kahoot (should be done)
