Picture of the Week

Creative Writing: 

We will begin our creative writing on the blog. I am excited to see all of your creative stories!
You are going to write a narrative.
A narrative is another name for a story.



STUDENTS: Let's begin by making this simple.
I want you to write the BEGINNING of a story.
Introduce me to the cow and its problem. 
Remember the beginning of a story introduces you to the 
character, setting and the problem.


See you at the Edge!- Mrs. Shelby

  3. I think the cows problem is that he is trying to get out of the fence because he is probly tired of staying with the same cows and he ran as fast as he could and tried to jump over the fence but he got stuck.My second opinion is the cow is trying to get to the other side of the fence because he wants greener grass.My third opinion is the cows might of ran out of water and the cow might be trying to get to the pond but he got stuck.My fourth opinion is the cow is trying to eat some butter cups but he didn't make it.Colton, TO BE CONTINUED!!

    1. Good start Dominick. When you write a narrative, stay away from telling me "The setting is a farm." Describe the setting. What is the problem? He wants to get to the other side but you did not tell me what the problem was. Keep that in mind!

    1. In the directions, it says to just write the introduction. Don't forget, an introduction doesn't include a solution to the problem. Also, when you are typing, capitalize the beginning of each sentence. Good start!!
