About this Event

Wrap up our Summer Reading Program with this fun program! Based on photos of footprints of varying sizes and shapes, kids will generate a sketch and description of the animal they believe it belongs to. Then, in small groups, they will craft a Choose Your Own Adventure story of their animal characters together.

Kids will:

  • Collaborate to write a cohesive second-person adventure story, which includes brainstorming, synthesizing ideas in large and small groups, co-constructing a narrative, and re-reading drafts for revision
  • Practice how characters make choices in response to details and events
  • Become published authors at the end of the program!
