Story Writing
We have been working really hard on writing our stories the last 2 weeks. Last week, we were given 2 picture prompts:
We then had a chance to talk to our classmates to generate ideas about what our story might be about. We then got a graphic organizer to help us plan our work.
We learned about exciting beginnings, adding detail, and making sure we 'showed' the reader what we wanted them to picture in their heads, not 'told'. We followed the diamond story writing plan. We had to include most of our information in the main event of our story. We learned the importance of a balance between action, dialogue, description, thoughts, and sound effects.
We then had the chance to get each other feedback. After a few people edited our work, we incorporated the feedback into our finished copy.
