Activity 1	The story of How Paper and Ink Came Together and Survived to Sing About It has been written in a way that allows the reader or listener to create vivid pictures in their imaginations in relation to the characters and the settings. Children can sequence the events in the story and represent it in comic form or create their own comic strip from their story ideas exploring similar themes but using different characters, setting and plot.
Activity 2	The story of How Paper and Ink Came Together and Survived to Sing About It has been written in a way that allows the reader or listener to create vivid pictures in their imaginations about the characters. Children can draw or paint, create masks or puppets for these characters to show their individual interpretations or impressions in relation to how these different characters might look and act. The creations can then be shared and used as a discussion base exploring the personalities and their roles in the story.
Activity 3	Australian Aboriginal Peoples create story maps to help them retell their dreaming stories. The maps can be symbolic paintings constructed of dots and lines using ochres and sticks as the tools and paint. Children can decide upon which symbols they could use to represent trees, water and each of the characters. Symbols used by Aboriginal People could be researched. The story map can also be drawn in sand as the story is being retold by the children or when the audio version is replayed.
Activity 4	The story of How Paper and Ink Came Together and Survived to Sing About It delivers many interesting and diverse characters to the reader or listener. Children can create new characters, even a narrator, who could become entwined into their personal retelling of the story. These characters could be constructed from papier mache, or masks or hand puppets could be built to use in the new story sharing process. Naming these characters would provide another creative opportunity for the children as they endeavour to align their thinking to existing characters’ names: Soaring Cloud Ink, Rushing River Ink, Daddy Sky, Mama Earth. A suitable setting could also be constructed for the new characters.
