Questions? E-Learning Questions Padlet

ELA- THEME & BOOK CLUBS we will start this together at Zoom at 10

Today you will be creating your own story! Fantasy, mystery, realistic fiction; the choice is yours! The only rule is, it must tell a story of bravery. Can you think of a character who shows bravery? What do they want? What are the challenges? How do they react? 

 

  1. Plan out your story using a story mountain graphic organizer, and then draw and write your final copy in the bravery storyboard graphic organizer. These are both placed in your Reading Folders. **If you can, hold off on starting this until after our Zoom, as I will explain more at our class. Watch the lesson video but stop there.**
  2. When you are done, post your storyboard to the Seesaw assignment, or on the May E-Learning Slides.  (If you edit with Kami, let me know that’s where you did this and I’ll know to look there.)
  3.  Continue reading your book club agreed upon pages, and post your jots to Padlet using      your initials and date. Check out the new fantasy collection that was shared with you on Epic to get you excited for our new writing unit coming up later this week! 
This is the Seesaw assignment you will post the final version of your Story mountain.
