- In our first writing lesson, we will create a collaborative story.
- This means we will have ONE story that everyone will get a chance to add to.
- We will start with “Once upon a time,” (or something a bit more creative and then everyone will take turns adding to it by each adding a sentence.
- I will type out our story as we say it until we come to an amazing ending
- Then, we will read through our story and see how easy it is to write. After all, writing is just putting your thoughts down on paper.
