Description

Stories have many elements; that is why they can be difficult to create. Writing a story that stays on topic and flows can be extremely difficult for adults, let alone children. It is essential to build on top of prior knowledge and provide opportunities for students to make meaning and apply their understanding so that they develop into confident writers. The Once upon a time… method continues to build on the elements of storytelling by introducing further concepts around imaginary writing and storytelling techniques. This activity begins to look at the setting, which was previously explored in the Recount Story, as well as looking at the back story of characters and the point of change (call to action) in a story that leads to an adventure. It is the first introduction to plot development and sophisticated story-telling. The Once upon a time… story telling technique is used widely and is one of Disney Pixar’s plot frameworks.
