They'll also learn how to describe their reaction to the events in the story (emotions / feelings words). -Students will learn how to use correct punctuation, spelling and grammar, and learn vocabulary. Each class begins with a demonstration on how to do the following: -Plan a beginning, middle and end -Draw a picture with details to each part of the story, & use the drawings to write After the demonstration, children have time to write independently, while the teacher checks in with each student to brainstorm ideas and give feedback.
