We have been working on finding and sharing stories from our lives. We have been focusing on:

• Finding a story in our lives
• Starting with a title to tell our reader what our story is about
• Making all sentences belong
• Zooming in on a moment (Who? Where? How? What) to stretch a small event into a story
• Showing our feelings by using talking, !, or feeling words, to show the reader how you are feeling through actions

We have also been focusing on experimenting with punctuation and using upper and lowercase letters in our writing.

Below, Ewan has chosen a story from his journal that he is most proud of.

Ewan’s Reflection:

I am proud of my drawings because they are good. I did good writing.

I want to get better at writing words. I am good at reading words, I am not good at writing words.
