Collected Stories

This exercise involved groups of 3 that were asked to look at some random pictures, and craft a story together as a team. They could discuss the plot with their partners, but each one would have to write a distinct introduction, a leading middle paragraph and a conclusive end.
This is what the children conjured:

GROUP 1: AARUSHI; ASFIYAH & TANIA

MY LIFE STORY: BY AARUSHI; ASFIYAH & TANIA

Beginning - Aarushi:

I was a little girl with my mother to singlehandedly take care of me. My father used to work in the other part of the world making candles.

Middle - Asfiyah:

I used to often call him up and enquire about his health. He was a tall, handsome man with specs. He had dark black hair and freckles. My father missed me and I missed him. My mother and I used to go to the sea face to watch for a signal because there wasn't one.

Conclusion - Tania:

My father's business was going down and so the company decided to sell illegal artifacts online. The police found out and investigated and sent the company to jail.

I wasn't too happy about my father though I  didn't want to but I knew I had to because that was the way of my life and I knew it. But that was my destiny. 

GROUP 2: NIYOMI; REET & URJA

THE CIRCLE OF LIFE: BY NIYOMI; REET & URJA

We are all bound in a circle - circle of life. It's moving and we can't get out of it. I myself have a different experience of life. I was born in a poor family. Our family got a handful of rice but had to share it with 5 members. My friends, my brother and I would steal vegetables and fruits from trees and eat them to fill our stomach. As time passed and I grew up, I learn't the lessons of life.

Middle - Reet:

I started earning more and shifted to a bustling city. I got away from nature and got a spa parlour. I am now the owner of the best spa in the city. Thanks to my brother, I realised once more that I was not the little hard working girl anymore. I had forgot the importance of hard-work.

I started connecting to nature. I closed my spa and instead joined the forest department. I used my money not to waste in a spa. But to guard animals and here I am writing the circle of life.
