To start the process of a long write, we would normally watch a video and brainstorm ideas based off of that, look at a photo and use that as a starter to help us think of a story or we would do a long write with a paragraph as a starter.
As you can tell, we used this video. Our lovely teachers will always have a planning sheet set up either on paper or in our document on the Chromebook. We will plan throughout the different stages of our story, no sentences just points we want to put in.
We will have forty minutes to write this. We have a success criteria that we will normally look at before we start writing our story so we know what we need to add to make our story more interesting and descriptive to really capture the reader. After we finish writing the story we will fill out our success criteria and answer some questions. *Rule for Success Criteria, Green = I did it well, Orange = I can do better, Red = I didn't use it.
Here is the 'Success Criteria':
For this story, we needed to create a story with our 'Dream Giver'. Before we could even start planning, we created our own 'Dream Giver'. Here is mine:
After that, our lovely teachers told us that we were going to base our dream on something that we aspire to be or really want, a dream of ours. This is what we would base our story on.
After our planning sheet, I wrote my story, I put it in a slide so it would be easier to read. Here it is:
Some challenges for me was probably thing of descriptive language to put in and also using present tense, I think this was hard because when you are into a story, you don't think about putting a whole bunch of description in.
Something I found easy was thinking of what I wanted my dream to be.
If you had a 'Dream Giver', what would you want your dream to be about?
Thank you for reading this blog post, I hope you enjoyed reading this.
Bye.
