No school Monday due to weather


CREATIVE WRITING


Due

• Four illustrations for children's story
• Conflict sheet

Teacher Conference

• Everyone talked with me today about his/her storyboard, conflicts, illustrations and overall story progress.

Workshop/Writing Assignment

• Everyone typed the children's storybook.  Our goal was ABOUT 1 1/2 pages, typed, doublespaced.  Tomorrow we will work on layout and design.

Sharing

• We traded stories with a partner, and we read each other's story, then commented about the orange sheet requirements:  character, plot, appropriateness, etc.

Homework

• Do ANYTHING you need to do to finalize your book (writing, illustrations, orange sheet requirements), because tomorrow in class, we will need almost all our time to design the book, lay it out, and bind it.

Children's Story
