1. What happened? Who was involved?
When I was in elementary school, my fourth grade teacher introduced my to my favorite book, Touching Spirit Bear. Everyone in our class was on the fence about this book, but I was intrigued by the thought of a Spirit Bear. My teacher read this book out loud every day after recess and I slowly fell in love with it.
2. When and Where did it happen?
It happened when I was in fourth grade, and it was in my classroom at Breidablik Elementary School. The room itself was rather large for a classroom, books lined the walls. We were all sitting in a small section at the front of the room in old couches and on the floor. We did each others hair mindlessly while looking to the teacher who knew what the book held beneath its cover.
3. What makes the story come alive?
The connection to the children, and being read to. We can all relate to being young and the feeling of a new book. Most of us can remember a time of being read aloud to and what it feels like to be in that moment lost in someones words. The feelings in the room of tired children and an over excited teacher.
4. Who's telling the story?
I am telling the story, but it is a younger version of myself. It will be a first person narrative.
5. Why does the story matter?
This story matters because it introduced me to my favorite book and that has changed who I am today. This book reminds me that no matter what situation I am in I can pull through and change myself into a better human and a better friend. The point is, that books can come out of nowhere and show you who you want to be and how to get there.
