We are part of a shared writing experience for creating a progressive story! We wrote the first part of a story then schools in Virginia, California, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania will each write the next part of the story. The last classroom (in Pennsylvania) will also give our story a title. Each school will illustrate their section of the story and we will all contribute to a VoiceThread of our story.
Below is the first part of the story that we wrote on Tuesday. All of the 2nd graders contributed to this shared writing experience. We are excited because the school in Viriginia that is writing the next section is going to share it with us through a Skype call on Firday! It will be our first Skype call.
Once upon a time a boy and a girl took a trip to the zoo. They walked around looking at all the animals.
They stopped at the monkey cage. There was only one monkey in the cage. The monkey looked sad.
The children wanted to cheer him up so they opened his cage to give him some of their lunch and the monkey sneaked out.
The monkey climbed in the boy’s backpack and hid. The boy and the girl did not know what happened to the monkey so they just went home. At home the boy opened his backpack and the monkey jumped out. The boy said, “We must take you back to the zoo!”
The monkey said, “I know how to get there, quickly. We need to hop on a plane.” The boy and girl packed a suitcase and a snack and followed the monkey to the airport. They hopped on a plane and thought they were going to the zoo.
When the plane landed they saw trees instead of cages of animals. The boy and girl cried, “What’s going on here?”
The monkey replied, “We are in the jungle. I need to find my family. Will you help me?”
