I help parents connect with their child's school experience by having the students do reports on themselves called, IT'S MY STORY AND I'M STICKING TO IT. The students are required to write their favorite story about themselves, interview their parents, a brother/sister and a friend. The interviewees dictate their favorite stories about the student. The participants are asked to keep the stories positive and uplifting. The students later write these stories in the form of a report. They keep the original along with the polished copy. I love reading the finished products!
