How the Elephant Got Its Hump
This week is Spring Break for LAUSD so afterschool program that I am working for is having our Spring Break Camp. I was teaching a class on storytelling. I read the students a story called How the Camel Got its Hump by Rudyard Kipling from Just So Stories. We then talked about other animals who are funny looking and wonder how they got that way. I had the students write their own versions of these different stories. Here are a few to share.
