CHILD AS STORYTELLER
TEACHER:
What do you think
will happen next?
CHILD:
The ducks wont
cross the street.
Theyre afraid.
TEACHER:
How will they get
to their new home?
CHILD:
The policeman
will help...
See the policeman
stops the traffic. The
drivers are laughing
at the duck parade...
The little ducklings
like swimming with
the Big Swan Boats.
