A great book for a writing lesson. Or even a reading lesson. Do a picture walk. Talk about what you think will happen next. Have your students write about something they did for the first time.WRITERS:
A great book with very low word count. If you aim for the same, study this one. Read it slowly, see what phrases strike you, and pay attention to pacing and page turns. You could even write about something YOU did for the first time. Who cares if it's never published, when you write, you are honing your craft.What's your favorite roller coaster? (Mine is the one at Ghost Town in Maggie Valley, NC. When I rode it, there were no lines and I did it 4-5 times in a row. Laughed the whole time!)
I bow to the genius of Marla Frazee! How could you not fall in complete love with "Boss Baby" or "Stars"?
ReplyDeleteI am not a Roller Coaster Rider in any way, shape or form. DD got me on the "Polar Coaster" at Storyland in NH a few times, but I draw the line at anything not designed for toddlers!
