Students, I want you to go to the bottom of this page and click on the link. This will take you to "Story Starters: Creative Writing Prompts for Kids" on Scholastic.com. From there I want you to follow the directions the page gives you. Pick a theme, enter your name, and pick the correct grade level, 4-6 (you are not in 2nd grade anymore, no matter how bad you wish you were!) Spin the lever and try to stick with the first prompt that shows up, even though there is an option to spin certain boxes again. Write it on the notebook and draw a picture to go with your story. At the end, print off your finished story and bring it to class to share!
Parents, this year we have been talking about the different elements of a story. Students know that every story needs a beginning, middle, and end. We've talked about the purpose of writing or why we write, persuasive, entertainment, or informational. Every story also needs a character or two and a setting. And finally, they know that to make those characters and places come alive they need to use active and fun verbs and adjectives! Guide them through this fun and wacky assignment, making sure they use complete sentences to persuade, entertain, or inform us. Brainstorm with them verbs and adjectives to use in their story. And most importantly, have fun writing and creating with your children!
