Students in our after-school and community classes are exploring all the different ways writers generate ideas, and put captivating words on the page.
Here are some writing excerpts from our young authors (and some of their parents!) at Chabot Elementary's Spring reading:
By Helen
Prompt: This I Believe...
By Tess
Prompt: You are home by yourself. The postman comes to the door to deliver a package. It's a large box wrapped in brown paper and says in big black letters, Caution: Content Dangerous.
By Grace
Prompt: You are home by yourself. The postman comes to the door to deliver a package. It's a large box wrapped in brown paper and says in big black letters, Caution: Content Dangerous.
Then, both the kids AND their parents were asked to form a story starting with "Just then..." and using the characters George, Charlie, Greg, Obama, and Dr. Bob Shishkabob.
See what they came up with!
