1. This activity immediately followed Story Time and lasted 16 minutes. The two combined activities took nearly 30 minutes, but it was not feasible to separate them.
2. Tonight, the teacher will type the children's story into a word processor, format the text on 15 pages, and print it our in a very large font size. These story lines will be pasted on large pieces of paper so tomorrow the children can illustrate the story in groups of two.

Study Questions
1. What classroom management techniques does the teacher use when the children all want to talk at once?
2. The teacher uses several techniques to help the children come to concensus on various aspects of their story. Describe these techniques.
3. The teacher "powers through" this activity. What do you suppose this means and what teacher behaviors are involved?
