AuthorThis page is a way for me to connect with students, share my passion to write, and hopefully instill this same passion in them as they learn at home. REMEMBER TO INCLUDE IN YOUR STORY:When you write, remember to answer these questions:
I gave you a few examples to get you started. 1) Who you are with? (mom, dad, brother, sister.) 2) Where you are? (inside, outside, house, barn) 3) How are you feeling? (happy, sad, mad, discouraged) 4)What are you doing? (playing, singing, dancing) 5) When did this take place? (day, morning, afternoon, night) Archives
