In this fun class, children gather around the story circle and share their discoveries of various discarded objects and how the children (and the teacher) came to find​/​rescue​/​repurpose these objects, so that they could become part of our creative story world. We brainstorm descriptions of each object, using descriptive, humorous and poetic language. Then participants co-create stories using these materials as characters, props and settings. What results is a collective story that empowers children to see the creative potential of mundane or mysterious objects, and that empowers students to experiment and hone their craft of creative storytelling.
