Hey kids, check out the new pics in the gallery that I posted from our celebration from two weeks ago.? I’m proud of all of your hard work in writing!!

We wrote out our story mountains today!? Yeah!? We’ve finally got the ball rolling with our realistic fiction.? If you didn’t finish your map in your WN, and the drafting booklet, it should be taken home.? Tomorrow while I’m gone, you’ll be stretching out each dot on your mountain.? I can’t wait to see what you’ve written on Friday!? Great job today!

We watched the inauguration of the 44th President of the United States today.? Thanks Coach Blake for letting us use your tv!? It was history in the making!? What an important day in our nation.? We’ll see how this story unfolds!

In writer’s workshop, we are drafting realistic fiction stories.? These are longer stories, which connect small moments together.? We are in the process of developing our character and this week, we’ll begin to draft the story mountain with all the details.? These are going to be great!? The characters all have struggles and motivations to solve the problems they face.

We are currently studying characters in our realistic ficion unit.? So far, we know the importance of setting in fictional stories.? We are also getting to know the main character and secondary characters and how they interact with each other in their stories.? We are learning how the main character changes throughout the story and how they solve their problem, depending on what kind of character they are.? We are using Schooled by Gordan Korman for our character study, with the main character named Capricorn Anderson.? They love it!
