Featured Author: Javier (click here)

Javier wrote a very exciting story about facing his fear of riding a bull.  Javier did a great job breaking his narrative into paragraphs.  Since publishing this story, he has learned to identify his different paragraphs with line indentions instead of a skipped line.  This allows him to use all 26 lines for his exciting events!  I have included an example of what a paragraph indention should look like below.

Be sure to read below his published story to see how Javier planned his story.  He used a wonderful revising technique to add some very important details.  You will also see an artist at work. Javier drew a scene from this story to share with you!








Javier did a wonderful revising technique where he added some very exciting and important details to his draft before publishing.  Check out how he used the numbering system, and then on another page added supporting information and details.
