M & W 3344

What is a circular story? A circular story is a story that is told in a circle pattern. This story must begin and end in the same way.There are many ways that teachers can use this in their classroom. I would use this method on helping the students to learn how to tell time on a clock. I would have 12 chairs in a circle then 12 students will be sitting in these chairs. The other students will take turns acting as the hands on the clock. Depending on where the hands want to land. The remainder of the students will take turns having to guess what the time it is. Then you can switch the roles of the students. This should help the students understand the circular story pattern and they can also have fun with it. (Hope you are able to understand my example.)
There are many ways that you can make reading fun for children. I believe that if the teacher shows the students that she is excited about reading and has a passion for it they will too. Students might not admit it, but they really look up to teachers and want to be just like them. Reading to the class and changing your voice to fit the character helps keeps their attention. Another way is to have a creative reading center.
