Week 6, Post 2

While writing this book, the thing that stood out the most to me was the difficulty involved in coming up with a storyline that was more suited to a third-grader than a college professor. I have been so accustomed to writing upper-level work that coming up with an original creative story was actually quite hard. I was under the impression that because my major is elementary education, doing an assignment like this would come naturally. I suppose that like everything else, thinking like an elementary school student comes with some time and practice!
The above excerpt is from my Flat Stanley reflection. We had to write a storybook based on pictures that we took, and suit it to the third-grade level. As you can see, I found that a bit difficult. It's really amazing how accustomed we get to writing college level papers. Hopefully I can get the hang of things by the time I have to do my student teaching! If you'd like to read more, click here!
