Last Story, a Choice

Hello Grade Fives!

I learned many wonderful things at my Pro D on Friday and as a result I am giving you a couple of new choices for your 2nd (and last story), yes last! In June we will be doing something totally different for reading and writing :)

2nd story choices: (the template pages are still required for all three choices)

1) same format as your first story
2) a ppt storybook for a primary grade level
3) a collaborative story, with a friend, using a private wiki page (I will provide you with one)
4) your own creative idea

Also, please sign your comment using your first name. I have dealt with the privacy issue by removing all old posts and saving them as a word document for my own reference :)

I can hardly wait to see which format you have choices for your last story!

Story Writing Check-in

Hello Grade Fives!

I am so glad to be back and I am anxious to know how your story writing is going. Please share some of the struggles and successes you are experiencing as you have been writing your stories. For some ideas to help you respond: do you find the outline helpful and does it make story writing harder, please explain? What is the hardest part of writing your story(ies)?

Please note that your first story is expected to be completed and in my file by this Friday.

As usual, I look forward to reading your responses :)

Love Mrs. French

Story Writing

Hello Grade Fives,

I am interested in how you feel about story writing. I would like to know 1) whether you enjoy writing stories, 2) what you find easy, 3) what you find difficult, and finally 4) what you would like to learn how to do when writing stories.

I am looking forward to reading your responses. They will help me plan lessons to help you write stories.

Love Mrs. French
