Writing and Illustrating Your Own True Story!
We will be creating a small moment story, all about a time in the writer's life. We'll be using an easy-to-follow structure that they can build on as they grow as writers. When our book is created, we'll illustrate!

We will be using Units of Study curriculum to develop an idea for a personal non-fiction story. We'll then outline our story across our 5 page structure and then add details to engage our readers. Once finished with the basic part of the book we'll spend some time illustrating and adding details. This is a fully interactive class where I can support spelling, answer questions, and help them illustrate step-by-step.

Long time teacher in the elementary and early childhood education space, but I love creating with art, music, writing, and technology. There are very few ideas that kids can't be taught to understand on a deep level if taught with love and care.Reviews
