February Half-term Virtual Storytelling Sessions
Great fun was had writing Pancake Day stories during our February half-term session online. Small groups worked together to contribute ideas and build a story using AAC. The young people who joined us had some original and funny ideas for characters to feature in the story, and some hilarious and unusual ideas for pancake fillings!
The story-writing activity was deliberately targeted at AAC users who benefit from a more structured approach, with plenty of time to contribute and communicate. Using a rough story outline, presented with both text and symbols, the story-writers were given plenty of creative licence to take the story off in whatever direction they liked. While some enjoyed including a favourite animal or person as one of the characters, others were motivated by choosing an exciting mode of transport, or introducing an unexpected accident or event.
