That is so true. I agree with everything you said. I got bit by the acting bug when I was nine years old and portrayed Rosa Parks in a play for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I didn’t have any lines but just refused to move to the back of the bus but it’s something I’ll never forget and it was a great play and educational as well.

I liked how you wrote the scene out. Have you shown it to her? It might give her a great confidences boost. I do it a little with my students and they love it. They love watching me write down what they are telling me. They seem very proud of what they created and in their eyes the words give extra value to their work.

This sounds like a problem that my co-teacher was telling about he boys on long car trip. They where basically tearing up the car, so she found a great alternative. She made mini felt boards for them and they love them! Now after they get board of story telling, and CDs, they are given a place where they can create there own story.

That is so ironic because I do the same thing in the car with my three year old who sounds very much like yours. He has such a big imagination. I play my i pod in the car with children’s songs or stories for him to and from school. My son will hear a song and start telling a story about that song then off his imagination goes on a wild roller coaster ride as he spins tales about talking to the clouds or playing with the raindrops. It makes me beam inside knowing my child is so creative and it beats not talking at all.

Thank you! I’m so glad you like the book and I hope you have found all the others; acting out stories and writing new plays are recurrent themes.
