Writing: Wrapping it all up

Writers, you have reached the end! Literally, it is now time to start writing the end of your fantasy story. Watch the introductory video to learn about different ways you might end your story. And much like the introduction, it is best to try out a few different endings before choosing the one that fits your story best. If you haven’t started typing your story yet, please make that a priority today. You can ask for help with the typing if that makes it easier for you.

  • First, watch Imaginative Narrative #9 Video above with Mrs. Boyer
  • Use the slides as mentor texts: Imaginative Narrative #9 Slides
  • Write at least two different endings, then choose one that fits your story.
  • Share it on Seesaw tell me about your two versions, and why you chose this one

Today is an exciting day… you get the results of your surveys! Watch the lesson carefully to see how to get your data, how to fill out a data table, and how to fill out each graph.

Smart Fact

On this day in 1967 EMI Records released “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” a few days early in the United Kingdom; it would go to number one for 15 weeks in the US and 22 weeks in the UK. Do you know the famous band that sang this song? I’ll give you a hint, they caused something known as The British Invasion in the U.S. If this is the first time you are hearing about The Beatles, then watch this clip to hear a little more: The Beatles Iconic Performance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
