Boys' work vs. Girls' work

Random note about my creative students



So I've given the "make your own story using past tense" class to a boys class and a girls class now, and just from these two classes I see a huge difference in stories. They were allowed to make up any story they wanted lol.



Girls' stories (They had less time, so most of these are just pictures not much story writing yet):

1. A story about a girl being scolded by her mom, then badmouthing her mom to her friends, but then her mom hears and the girl grovels and then the mom like...pushes her lol.

[very cartoony.]



2. Story of everyday life: "I get up at 6:00", then a picture of missing the bus, then of sleeping in class, then of sitting in math class, then of "study hard" in the after school academy, then someone sitting at a desk still studying at 1:00.

[I love the sleeping in class picture XD]



3. A teacher laughingly telling a student to "give me crying!" Then the student giving what looks like a bowl of tears "Here you are!!" and the teacher saying "After school bring your crying" (?) Then a student sitting at a desk looking all happy and waving saying "(cute) I'm Minji" and the teacher saying "Do not act like a cute person" Then the student looks like they turned into a monster at their desk saying "I'M MINJI" and the teacher saying "Ok"

[....this story isn't finished...i have no idea where it's going XD]



4. A story about a girl (one of the ones in class i think) goes out shopping "after test..." and it says "fashion news" and "I'm happy" Then the students report card "But in the school" "띠로리" (?) Then the girl crying "I'm very sad" and then mom looking very mad with flames coming out of her head (lol) and then arms with a stick hitting them "love stick" it says.



5. A conversation between two girls: one is wearing a "I love you Kikwang" shirt and the other says "Hey!", Kikwang shirt says "why?" Other girl says "I...I have something to tell you." Then kikwang shirt thinks: "서..설마 고백??" and other girl says "Hah Hah Hah..." looking all crazy and then she says "MBLAQ" and kikwang shirt girl says "헐~" (it's revealed that other girl is wearing an "I love Mblaq" shirt XD

[LOL the last one like...is kinda creepy but cracks me up. But you gotta know two things: 1. who kikwang is and 2. Mblaq's song "Y" lololol]



I see a lot of similarities between the girls' stories. Minus the last one lololol



NOW. Boy's stories on the other hand: (they had more time, so most of them actually wrote their stories out + drew the pictures)



1. "I have many hair. Many people say you look so dirty. Cut the hair. So i think cut my hair." (the picture is a guy with a mustache and other around him saying "cut cut cut" Then: "I went to the store and I bought razor and cream." Then: "Arrive my house and I went bathroom." Then: I saw a mirror. and spred the cream on my face. I cut my hair." Then: "Oh no! I slide to sope (?) Oh no. I cut my nose. oh shit." Then: "What? Oh yeah. It's dream. w...what? Where is my nose?"

[LOL. But they didn't finish their drawings...sad. lol]



2. "민X's nick name is Kim Germany" Picture of a loner standing by the "휴지통" being pointed at and made fun of by others "김독일 ㅋㅋㅋ" Then "After school, going to home" Picture of loner walking home and people behind him throwing something at his head "shot! 팅!" Then "It's very tired 민X's life." Then: "The test result day" "Mother! I don't take a good score" "D..Do...Do you want a die?" Then: "YES!" "ok.." Then: "After all 민X tries to kill himself."

[....this story is actually pretty traumatizing O___O but also super cartoony....]



3. "In the school camp. We did the activity called rafting. First 회재 jumped into the water and everybody laughed. Then 승민 jumped into the water, but he didn't come up to the suface. Then 승민 came out and he just looked like beaver. Then laught." This one has a picture of a row boat with lots of people in it, then one jumps off and his head is floating above the water and everyone's all "ㅋㅋㅋ" then another person jumps off but then there's just "...." above the water. Then he pops out and has beaver teeth and everyone laughs...

[XDD wtf? Well they always call this one kid a beaver cause he looks like one apparently lolol. He was part of the group btw, he was helping them think up the story, so I think he embraces the nick name. XD]



4. "One day rabbit and turttle are held a race. Turttle was win. How the turttle won the race. One hour ago rabbit took a rest. at that time turttle find a rabbit and hit her head as turttle sheld and rabbit was broken head. So turttle could win the race. -The End-" This one has a turtle and rabbit racing, then a naked turtle racing, then a turtle winning, then a rabbit on the ground all beat up and a shell next to it XD It says: "One hour ago" and points out all the "blood" and the rabbit is thinking "why" also the "sheld" is pointed out XD



5. Today LSH and YSH had fight. YSH made a fight but YSH can't hit LSH, so LSH very angry and hit YSH. Finally YSH blood his nose and hide his tear and SHS teacher hit LSH's cheek. Then fight is finish. -End-" This one shows two people and one says: "Hey will you fight me?" and the other says "Okay." Then it's like: "Die!" "Bbouch!!" Then the teacher comes and says: "Hey guys follow me!" Then they say "sorry" and the teacher smacks one of them and then the one who got smacked is like "shet" and the one who got punched in the fight is all "kk"

[XD wtf...]



6. This one is the life story of one of the boys in the group: "In 1997 there was a baby whose name is 승민. When 승민 was middle school student, handsome 기태 kick and punched him. He teased many people. He passed the important exam when he was 19. He become a rich person but one year later 기태 killed him. So 기태 got all of the money." This one starts with a baby, then 승민 getting bullied by 기태 then 승민 sticking his tongue out at a crowd of unamused people, making fun of them no doubt, then him taking a test and looking really happy afterwards, then him lounging by a pool with sunglasses and a pile of money next to him (XD) then 기태 is back, shooting him by the pool with a rocket launcher (from the roof of another building) saying: "You teased many people. You should be killed by me."



[LOL This is my favorite just for that ending. CAN'T YOU SEE THE LOGIC? lol, i bullied you when you were little, then you bullied others, worked hard, and became super sucessful, so CLEARLY i must kill you now. XD wtf.]



The boys stories all seemed to involve more fighting and violence, but both had actually quite cute drawings...o___o



As for the finish the story part...(I gave 5/6 panels to a story of a girl going to get ice cream and then tripping over a dog while looking at a text message sending the ice cream flying....and the students had to finish the story) Compared to the girls' endings the boys seemed to have more just kicking the dog and/or making the dog into 보신탕 LOL...but i did see one girl's story end that way XD
