Fantasy Fun by Alex
Us kids in Room 101 do writing celebrations like last week when we just finished fantasy and we had a celebration. It was really fun to read other kids' stories and learn a lot of new things. Some of the things we learned were how to write in third person and how to use dialogue, paragraphs, tiny actions, and punctuation.
In the video above, Alex shares some photos of parts of our published fantasy pieces and names the writing work that she sees in that part of the piece.

Alex,
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS on finishing such an important piece of writing! And thank you so much for walking me through the things you've learned. You all must be really good at talking about your writing, and that (as you know!) is so, so important.
As a high school teacher, my favorite thing to do was to listen to my students talk about their own writing and each other's writing. The work you're doing in Mrs. Mills' class is preparing you for high school and college! Can you believe it?! I bet you can. She's a really good teacher :)
I love the term "tiny actions" and will think of it the next time I go to write.
Thanks again for sharing!
Love,
Coreen :)
