Narrative Settings

In our inquiry this term, we are focusing on the concept of change through narratives. This week, we are exploring the "setting" of narratives and supporting the students in creating a detailed setting to base their narratives. As a part of this, we have set up provocations to allow students to engage in many aspect of the creation of setting during learning agreement. Students are invited to watch a short film of a variety of scenery in the performance area and respond to it through a shared poster, create a diorama in the art space, listen to soundscapes in the media room and draw and write what they imagine, and construct a scene using materials provided on the construction area. These provocations will allow students to develop better skills in constructing a setting using their imagination.

Students listen to the soundscapes and respond to it through drawing and writing.

Students will also experience a workshop this week where they will create their own "Choose Your Own Adventure" stories, giving them an opportunity to practice these skills.
