One picture, several different stories

All this year we have developed tools to help us create a picture in our minds while we read to help with comprehension.   Thursday I put a picture from an old calendar up on the board and asked the class to take 15 minutes and write a story about what was happening in the picture.   You could have heard a pin drop during those 15 minutes.  Afterwards those who wanted to shared.  We were amazed how many different stories came out of one picture.

We would like to share those with you.  Hope you enjoy them as much as we did:
