The older class is officially starting their novels today. In class we worked on maps that will help the author stay true to the landscape and help the reader follow along. If they didn't finish in class this will be homework. We also went over writing dialogue, if your student was absent I can go over this with them next week. Homework is to complete the first draft of chapter one; it must be typed and double spaced.
The younger class played a game called Once Upon A Time. I have a magical bag that we pulled things out of to tell a story. They had to use whatever item came out of the bag in their next sentence. These guys have wonderful imaginations! The homework is to make their own "Once Upon A Time" bag or basket and then have the family write stories from the items in it.
