Third Grade LA Publish Their Scary Stories
This is my first year where I've actually had my third graders work on this difficult to master genre. Knowing that I had a really bright group of students this year, I knew, after some coaching, that they'd be up to this feat. Many were inspired to surpass my expectation of writing 500-700 words by actually writing their stories over 1000 words! They definitely rose to the challenge.
