My teacher has been working with the students on adding details to their stories. So today, she told them to write down the steps one should follow when brushing their teeth. After all the students had had ample time to write, they came back to the carpet. The teacher then placed a toothbrush, tooth paste, and glass of water at the front of the classroom. She informed the students that she would choose various students to read out their steps, and she would follow them exactly. The first student told her to put toothpaste on her toothbrush. She then proceeded to put toothpaste all over the brush from the handle to the bristles. Another student then told her she was to brush in circles. She did brush her teeth, but not in circles. Instead she was turning her whole body in circles. The students were in absolute hysterics, but they really got the point that they need to use more details in their stories. They were reminded that they should probably include things such as amounts, time, etc. They went back to their desks to put more detail into their stories.
