The Thunder Bolt
Grade 3 students presented their learning at the G3 Writing Celebration.
Mr. Phillips shared, “The students became experts at writing a small moment narrative story about a meaningful memory in their lives. After brainstorming ideas, students practiced planning their story through techniques such as making mental movies of the event and rehearsing the story with a partner. They were then challenged to write not like a news reporter, but like a storyteller- by including details, dialogue, emotions, and vivid imagery in their story. To make their work their very best, students honed the skill of peer reviewing through sharing their work with classmates and providing helpful feedback to each other.”
Jeongwoo said, “I just wanted to write about my favorite game to show how to play the game with others and to show the adventures that I had in Zelda.”
Cole said, “Moon Cake Day was the only idea that I had that I could write an entire story about. The scary part of the Moon Cake Day was when I got sick.”
Hoang Linh said, “It was exciting and I thought about it a lot. I hoped it was exciting for the reader.”
Bibi said, “I chose the story because I wanted to remember a special day in my life. I might not ever have a day with that many friends again.”
