Today, I had my Level 2s practice by telling stories. Their homework assignment was to choose a favorite fairy tale and tell it in class today in English. Then, we made up our own story as a class by using the story in the round. (One person tells the first sentence of the story, the next person in the circle continues with the next sentence and so on). I copied down what my kids were saying as we went around the circle.
So, here is the story my Level 2 class and I came up with today in all its crazy, silly, wonderful glory:
Once upon a time, there was an old man. He lives in an old village. He has a lovely dog. He always sleep with his dog. He also has a son. He works on his farm every day. He plants some seeds, but they become frogs. His dog is very strong, he use his dog to catch animals. He wasn't worried about food, but the dog ate all his food! They have no choice so they kill the dog and eat it. Then he gets a cat. The cat help to catch mice. But the cat doesn't like to catch the frogs. He can't keep his house, it is bigger than it can be. He usually goes to town by horse. One day the old man's son takes him to town. They stay at a hotel. So they decide to buy a better dog. But they can't find a better one. Then a man found them and told them he could give them a dragon instead of a dog. The dragon is very terrible and it eats the old man and his son. They decide to try and escape the dragon. The old man's cat is very sad so it kills itself. A hunter saw it and decides to save the old man and his son. The old man and his son find the stomach and jump up and down in order to make pain and make him [bleh, gestures vomit]. The hunter uses his gun to kill the dragon. With his dying breath, the dragon vomits out the old man and his son. They are able to eat the dragon meat, but it is so much they can sell it to the village. The old man and his son get a lot of money. They buy another dragon. This dragon is the dead dragon's mother and she wants revenge. They keep her in a cage. But the dragon breaks out and eats the old man and his son. The dragon flies and lands on the sun, but it is too hot and the dragon dies. But the dragon makes cold air when it dies and the old man and his son are still alive. They decide to come back to the Earth. The old man and his son are sad to lose another dragon, so they bought a dinosaur. The old man's daughter appeared and told the old man and his son that the dinosaur is her friend. Actually, the dinosaur is very cute and the family rides on his back to travel the world. The dinosaur met another dinosaur. Meanwhile, back at his farm, the evil frogs are taking over the whole town! The dinosaurs fight the evil frogs. The dinosaurs are too big, he cannot watch the frogs so the frogs ran around the dinosaur's feet. The dinosaurs kill the frogs by stepping on them. They kill them all and there are no frogs left. The old man and his son are back home. They saw the dead cat and their farm. The old man's daughter was crying in the house. The old man saw his daughter turn into a cat and was very surprised. And the daughter felt very scared. Then, the old man's daughter finds a monster to catch the dinosaurs. The hunter appeared again and says the two dinosaurs are bad for people, he takes them and leaves the village. The two dinosaurs came to a forest and get married and have a baby dinosaur. The small dinosaur escapes from the forest. Because it is actually the old man's cat who has been reborn and remembers the old man's daughter and loves her. The small dinosaur wants to eat the old man. The old man says the small dinosaur can stay and be a pet. Many years later, the small dinosaur grew up to become a big dinosaur. The dinosaur flew away. After that, the old man was dead. The old man's daughter wanted to turn back to a person, she goes to see a witch and the witch says she must find the dinosaur and kill it. The old man's son became an old man. He is not common people and the world will be destroyed and only the old man's son can save it. The old man's son began to save the Earth and he things that it is very hard. But the old man's daughter isn't normal people either and she becomes a master; she plans the destruction of the world. The brother kills his sister and he was sad, but he is great. One day a plane crashes to earth and the brother dies. The end.
Great fun! (Bonus points if you can figure out which lines are mine. There are only 4, and one of them is "Once upon a time..." I have some very creative kids!)
