Featured Author: Joey (click here)

My second featured author is Joey.  He typed a short expository story about his family.

He was given a creative writing assignment that challenged him to use as many of his "family member" spelling words as possible in a short expository story.  Remembering that he is writing to inform and explain, Joey chose many interesting facts to share about his family.

Also, if this is your first time reading my blog, be sure to check out and comment on yesterday's featured author in the post below this one.



Please comment below and let him know what you think about his story!

    Your punctuation was fantastic! I thought it was very interesting that your grandmother was from the Philippines.
