Our writers have been looking through the many (piles for some!) true stories from their lives which they have drafted so far this school year. They have especially looked for stories where they chose a small moment to zoom in on. Writers will soon begin revising and publishing these stories. One thing we have been working on in our writing is using different story starters like "One time..." or "It was..." instead of "I..." We have also learned about transition words such as "After that..." "Finally..." to help flow from one sentence to the next. Writers are even adding feelings and speech bubbles to help the reader picture the story in their minds. We are frequently sharing and discussing our stories with our partners to help us get ideas for more details to ask. Partners have practiced asking each other questions to coax out these details.
