About+the+Listening+Wall

=The Listening Wall=

Our goal as 4th graders is to be able to read and write fluently. So we created the listening wall. First, we brainstormed a list of fairy tales and the elements in these types of stories. We discovered that they all start with //Once Upon A Time// and end with //Happily Ever After//. Our teacher read us the story __The Frog Prince__. After reading it, we brainstormed what the story would have been like if it had been told from another character's point of view. Then our teacher assigned us the task of rewriting our favorite fairy tale from a different point of view. Next, we drew a picture to go along with our story.

Our teacher created this wiki. We recorded our stories using Vocaroo and embeded our recordings on to this site. We created a QR code to place on our stories; then hung them in the hallway. This became our listening wall. Now anyone who visits our school can scan the code and listen to us read our stories.

We hope you enjoy our version of our favorite fairy tales.
