Slide Deck

Welcome to Story Seeds!

Introduce the concept of Story Seeds and how a small idea can grow into a full story. Ask students to think about their favorite story or create a new idea.

From Seed to Story

Show a visual of a seed growing into a plant. Ask students what they think the little seed might become if it were a story.

Examples of Story Seeds

Provide a few examples of story seeds - such as a brave knight or a curious cat. Encourage students to think of their story seed.

Let's Create Our Story Seeds!

Instructions for the activity: each student will draw or write their story seed on a provided Story Seed Card. Circulate and interact with the students.

Reflection and Sharing

Wrap up the lesson by summarizing the key idea: small seeds can turn into big stories. Ask a few students to share their seeds if they're comfortable.
