After weeks of working on Narrative Writing, today we had an “Author Share.” Every learner wrote an imaginative narrative piece and either published their writing as a book with illustrations or a typed story.  Today learners paired up and proudly read their story/book to two partners, listened to their partners’ books, and discussed their books (favorite part, most difficult part to write/draw, what might happen in a sequel, etc.). Hopefully your third grader will share their story/book with you at home. You may also want to glance at the first draft and see how the story was revised and edited before being published.
