Seven pages for one story. Page 1 is a story map, a turtle that wants to win the school race. Page 2 is the same plan on lines. Page 3 describes a character. Page 4 has Turtle and Rabbit take turns in speech bubbles, then the talk written as dialogue with quotation marks. Page 5 swaps a plain word in each sentence for a stronger one. Page 6 groups time words and words to use instead of said. Page 7 is a story frame.
Read a short animal fable and fill in a story map for it together, then let students plan their own. For dialogue, two students can read the bubbles aloud in character before everyone writes them as dialogue.
Tell a story together about a pet or an animal, taking turns adding a sentence. Ask what the characters said, and help your child write it with quotation marks.
Story writing about animals with a story map, characters, dialogue and strong words. Students plan the setting, problem and events, describe a character, write what characters say, choose words for effect and use time words.
