打发时间的高级玩法：创作！
Storyland线上寒假工作坊已经进行三期啦！在我们第一期的工作坊里，6-10岁的孩子们分不同的小组，进行了为期5天的主题工作坊：有专注练习故事写作的Story Writing工作坊，有练习精读技巧的《Coraline》阅读工作坊，以及学习论文写作的Academic Writing工作坊。
经过五天循序渐进的系统性学习，孩子们在工作坊最后都完成了不同类型的作品创作。我们特地按不同英文程度分类，让好奇的大家一饱眼福。
Story Writing 初阶故事创作
相当于美国孩子二年级程度
孩子们每天在老师引导下学习故事创作的元素，例如故事角色Character，故事背景Setting，人物冲突Conflict等，并且学习如何用Story Mountain的方式（Beginning-Middle-End）来梳理故事情节的发展。工作坊结束时，每个孩子都完成了属于自己的原创故事，并用presentation的方式和老师、同学们分享了这个作品以及在创作中最喜欢的部分。

Story Writing 高阶故事创作
相当于美国孩子三年级程度
“什么样的故事才是一个好故事（Good Story）呢？”老师通过多元的教学方式引导孩子们找到答案。独立思考，分析，总结“Good Story”的组成元素构成了工作坊每一天的主题。从角色塑造，故事设定，情节展开，细节填充，老师通过举例来引导孩子们进行不同故事之间的对比，将阅读经验和生活经历都调动起来。与此同时每天的家庭课题也要分享和互相点评，对同伴提一个问题，说出他们故事的一处优点。通过思维的不断碰撞交融，孩子们都在一周之内创作完成了属于自己的“Good Story”。
●July Wu 7岁 ●
July作为年级最小的孩子，在平时很少使用电子设备，最初要妈妈在旁边陪伴熟悉怎样更好地互动。而在工作坊进行的过程中不断被激发创作灵感，在第三天的晚上就几乎完成了整个的故事，还认真地为自己的故事配上了色彩精致的封面。

Best friends at the pool
On a Monday afternoon, three little friends, Lucy, Millie, and Rosey were at Millie’s house swimming in her fancy swimming pool. Her house is in a peaceful neighborhood beside a clean and unspotted beach. Beside the swimming pool were many shells.
Millie’s mom wants their pool to be pretty, so she picked some shells from the beach to decorate. It was a sunny day. The swimming pool is shining like a crystal blue colored diamond and it’s the best day to swim.
The girls were enjoying their “weekly Monday afternoon swimming” in Millie’s pool. The girls were drinking their sweet, sour, ice-cold lemonades and eating their juicy hotdogs. They are ready to put their toes in the gorgeous water and to swim happily.
They put on their swimming suits and dived into the water together. Even though the pool they jumped into is about 190 centimeters deep, and their height is only 120 centimeters, they are not scared at all. Their families all love to swim and their families are all experts at swimming, especially Rosey’s because everyone in her family has won an Olympic Medal before.
They played water tag at first and Lucy was the tagger, and she caught Millie five times and Rosey seven times. Every week Lucy’s goal is to tag Rosey ten times in water tag.
After the y played water tag, they were tired and Rosey said she will go get hamburgers. It’s the girls favorite cheese burger. Rosey got one for each of them and they sat there and ate. Rosey said, “I want to be a famous swimmer in 10 years.”
Then everyone was really thirsty so Rosey went to the lemonade bar and got three bottles of lemonade. On the way to the pool, Rosey can’t see very well because the bottles in front of her were really big, so she accidentally stepped on a really sharp shell and fell down.
She shrieked in pain, “It hurts!!!” Lucy fistly noticed it and she asked Millie for an emergency box and Lucy realized that the shell she stepped on is still alive, so the shell attacked Rosey. When Millie got the emergency box, Lucy got some bandage and put it on Rosey’s leg and told her to rest.
The next morning Rosey’s mom took her to the hospital and the doctor said she can’t do sports for three weeks. Rosey was sad but she still did as she was told. However, she still trained everyday by swimming on her bed and lifting weights.
Everyday her two best friends would come to her house and play with her and train with her. After three weeks, Rosey’s legs recovered and still every Monday the kids would play in the fancy swimming pool. They then lived happily ever after. After ten years Rosey won a junior Olympic medal.

Students should have
longer break times
1) Introduction paragraph
Every school has different longer break times. At my school, we should have longer break times. If we have longer break times, we will have more time for getting ready for class. Even if the teacher last the class for too long, we also would have enough time for going to the restroom or getting a drink of water. Students would need longer break times in order to learn better. Longer break times would convince students to focus more in class.
2) Body paragraph #1
After class, we will need to get ready for the next class, so this gives us for the opportunity to get ready. When class time, students are still running around to get class materials, while if we have longer break times, we will have more time, so the teacher won’t be interrupted. Even if a student can’t find a book, they would have enough time to borrow a book from the teacher or a friend. If students have a problem, they can have time to fix before class.
3) Body paragraph #2
If its break time, and the teacher have something to say and delayed the class, we will still have time to prepare for class. For example: if we only have 5-10 minutes in break time, and the teacher lasts the class for 3 minutes, we won’t have enough time to let our brain have a break and get ready for class, while if we have 15-20 minutes break time, we will have time to go to rest room and get a drink of water.
4) Body paragraph #3
We will have a rest to our very tired brain and let it learn better in next class. If the teacher teaches us a very difficult lesson, we are able to digest these information quicker.
5) Conclusion
Long break times would convince students to focus more in class. Having longer break times help students learn better in class. We should have longer break times!

一 个 小 彩 蛋
7岁的Emily在Story Writing工作坊里，现场创造了一个城市。在她这个充满魔法的城市里，人们住在水瓶中，背包搭载着乘客，孩子们用电话作跷跷板玩耍...
我们也从家长那里侧面了解到，孩子们都很享受学习和创作的过程！和爱书、爱创作的老师及同伴们一起畅聊，学习阅读和写作的方法，把脑海里的想象变成纸上的现实，让自己成为一个更好的Storyteller，这是多么美妙的事情呀！
前几天还发生了一件很暖心的事。工作坊结束3天后，一位小朋友突然出现在班级群呼叫老师，原来是她想念有趣的老师、有趣的工作坊了。谢谢孩子的这份爱～
