As we begin our next writing piece, writers are first asked to develop story ideas. One way that writers get ideas for fiction is by paying attention to the moments and issues in our own lives. Students learned and discovered that E.B. White got the idea for Charlotte's Web by lying on a bale of hay in his barn, watching a spider in her web. The barn animals, the pigs, and the geese were all around, and he wrote about that moment in his writing notebook.
Writers were asked to look at different pictures around the room and transform those moments into story ideas. After drafting many ideas, they will be asked to choose one that fits the qualities of a proficient narrative to take through to publishing. This is an exciting process and so fun to watch!
