1. We begin with a symmetrical paper-cutting story.
2. Students explore and identify a variety of symmetrical objects.
3. Students use their art skills to create their own symmetrical object for their story.
4. We discuss "Setting, Character, Problem, Solution" and identify these elements in a familiar story such as "Goldilocks."
5. Students then create their own story.
6. Valerie tells a second story using a different type of storytelling method such as Draw and Tell, Sign Language or Tangrams.
7. Students write their own story.
8. Q and A encouraged if time permits.
