| Creative process and shoes for sound effects |
The kids have worked so hard on the scripts for the radio theater shows. The process for writing was to read together and take notes on characters, setting, and plot. Then find 10 vocabulary words and do all the great fun things you can do in understanding words when using the dictionary. Then each group created a story arc with me to help as a group know how to introduce the story parts, introduce the problem and build to the climax of the story and then resolve it. It was a great process for them to learn what to keep and write and what wasn't needed.
Learning to create sound affects was really fun. And they kids also got to listen to Radio Classic Theater from the 1940s. The more they wrote the more they got into the theatrics of their characters-- interesting voices and original thuds and footsteps were things that they loved doing. Chau let us borrow her microphone and that made the whole experience more professional.

| We invited the whole first grad and all of the fifth to hear the stories. Having an audience was nerve racking in such an exciting way. |
