I have been so impressed with quality of writing your children are doing when creating their realistic fiction stories. We have broken the story into four different parts and have been completing it step by step. So far, we we completed the setting, character, and problem pages. After student's complete the illustration for each part, the painting is displayed on their desks. They use the painting to complete the writing, using "wow" words throughout! We will be having a publishing party for the nonfiction reports and the realistic fiction stories in the next few weeks. I am looking for parents this week or the beginning of next week to help me put together these books. If you can be of any help, please let me know! It could even be before or after school!
