Teachers will learn
creative approaches to
engage students in
developing ideas into
stories in advance of
putting pencil to paper.
Teachers will understand
how to guide students to
play with words and
images, to trust
imaginative impulses and
to visualize character
experiences in order to
verbally and
collaboratively shape
ideas into
individualized stories.
Teachers will develop
skills in engaging
students
kinesthetically,
emotionally, and
intellectually,
encouraging them to
personally invest in
story-making to increase
their understanding of
story structure and
creative expression. The
processes demonstrated
in this course are
especially geared
towards students who
struggle with basic
writing skills which
impede their ability to
express themselves.
Teachers can register
for the course on the
PDE3 website (https://pde3.k12.hi.us/).

information call the
