Featured Author: Hunter (click here)

My first featured author today is Hunter.  He was writing a story about a time in a new place or situation.  As you all know, Texas Rangers stories make a strong connection with me because I can remember my first game as a kid. 

In the future, Hunter will organize his writing into paragraphs and squeeze these short stories into one page.  I also spoke to Hunter about focusing on the main idea of his story.  He used wonderful words to describe his experience, but I encourage Hunter to focus his writing on his most important details and events.

Featured Author: Sandra (click here)

Sandra was asked to write about a time she was in a new place or situation and explain how she reacted.  She worked hard and wrote a great story about the first day at a new school.  The heart of her story is something many us can make a connection to.  Sandra and I discussed dividing her future writing into paragraphs to provide clarity to the reader.  I included her pre-writing because Sandra has a very unique way of using a word web.



Below, Sandra planed her story using a double topic T-chart.  She determined her topic, problem, and heart before she drafted her story.

Sandra is a wonderful artist!  It is no surprise to me that her pre-writing is done in such a creative way.  The middle of the flower is her central idea, and each petal contains ideas that she wants to include in her story.

Please comment below and leave Sandra positive feedback on her writing.
