Story

"There is no greater power on this earth than story. "- Libba Bray

This year we will embark on a journey to explore the power of story. Our inquiry will be guided by these three overarching ideas: 

1. Everyone has a story and everyone's story matters.

2. The stories from the past impact stories in the present and in the future. 

3. Stories have the power to create change.

To begin, our learning community came together to discuss our feelings, thoughts, and wonderings. It was an exciting conversation, these were some of things that were said:

"Stories are for sharing."

"Stories teach us new things."

"Stories can make us feel happy, curious, sad, and excited." 

"When you read a good book, it makes you want to read more."

"There are lots of different kinds stories."

"Stories can take us to different places."

These were some of the questions asked:

"How do stories get made?"

"How does the author come up with an idea?"

"How do you get your own story?"

"How do the author and illustrator work together?"

"How do stories help us?"
