Writing Stories

When we are not working in the garden, we are sometimes writing stories. Sometimes we can be found writing stories in the garden. Some of our story titles are:

"Windy Day"

Valentino
Elias
Dante
Bri
Bernardo
Jesus
Isaac

"Swamp Story"

Jacob
Elias
Dante
Bri
Bernardo
Jesus
Isaac

"Forest Story"

Jacob
Bri
Bernardo
Isaac

"Garden Story"


Sometimes pictures help spark the imagination. Here is one of them.

It can be hard to keep track of what everyone is working on as well, so here is what we use to track current work.

The students first write the stories, then print them to be turned in for editing. Then they make the edits and re-submit their stories, earning points for language, editing, and effort via a rubric that is submitted with each draft.

Jesus typing his hand-written story.

Isaac printing his first draft after hand-writing his story.

Bri's tablet and a draft with corrections she is working on.

Mr. Grimm's to do list: drafts to be edited.
