Story Path

This past week we learned about story path in class.  I really enjoyed it!  I can't wait to do this in the classroom.  There are so many subjects and ideas you can cover with story path.  Dr Meier suggested spending two to three weeks on story path.  If you are worried about the time, break the students into groups and let them work on it in centers. I think you could do a story path in a week to go along with any unit.  Pick a social studies subject like the Civil War.  Some students can be the union and the others the confederate.  The reading center they can read stories related to the subject.  The computer center they can research.  The art center they can decorate the scene and the characters.The writing center they can write about the character, events, or how they could make changes.  I think you could teach a lesson using story path at least once a month.
