Writing

The kids are writing small moment stories.  These are true stories about things that have happened to them.  They learned different ideas for generating ideas for narratives and are now working on turning thier stories into "real" stories with a setting, action, and dialogue.  I love how much most of the class seems to enjoy writing.  They always have a story to tell me so now it's trying to convience them to write those stories.  One thing they are learning is that the more time a story is told the more it is developed.  Family members beware they may want to tell you their stories over and over and since it's actually for school you MUST listen (wink and smile).
