A Study of Teaching Writing in the first two years of primary school-A case of story-making practices motivated by pictures-

指導要領の改定もあり，ここ数年作文指導への関心が高まってきている。その中で，作文の題材を日常生活だけに限定せずにもっと広く求めるべきだという主張も多くなされるようになってきた。そこで，本稿では，低学年の子どもに絵をもちいておはなしづくりをさせるという方法を試みた。1年生では，3枚の絵を，2年生では地図をもちいた。そして，書いたおはなしの文字数，おはなしづくりの方法から分析した。また，同一児童の1年のときと，2年のときに書いたおはなしを比較することにより，おはなしづくりに関する成長の姿の一つの資料を得ることができた。Academic interest towards teaching of writing has been enhanced along with the recent remodification ofthe teaching of the programme.Among these current movements,there have been some strong voices regarding selection of topics for writing,which is that topics should be seeken for not only children's daily life but also other extended fields.This presents a possibility by considering story-making practices motivated by pictures wich were arranged continuously in the first two years of primary school.The ages of the children examined here are 6-8 years old.Three pictures were provided for the first graders while map was for the second graders.Critical analysis and considerations will forcus on the number of the letters they used in their writing as well as on the flow of their writing process.This study,as a conclusion,will show some example of developing story-making skills by comparing between the stories written by the same child during the observed two years
