We have been continuing our work on Small Moment stories. We are already writing three page stories! This week, we learned that good writers include the 3 W‘s in their writing.

By including the 3 W’s on our first page, the reader can better understand our story. We also talked about how writers use pictures to tell a story. Even when we aren’t sure if we can draw something the right way, we can close our eyes and imagine what we want to draw. To help us with this idea, we read the book Ish in which the character drew pictures that look “ish-like”. For example, he drew a vase that looked “vase-ish”. This inspired us to draw pictures that look “ish-like”, too. We decided that we don’t need to worry about how our pictures look, instead we are going to draw our pictures the best that we can.
