Realistic Fiction Writing

Students have been hard at work with realistic fiction writing.

Students learned that a realistic fiction story begins with a character.  This character has a realistic problem or adventure with an interesting plot and most likely has a problem with a solution.  Students developed their characters and sketched out their ideas.

Students discussed ideas with other students and worked on their own specific writing goals.

Some students decided to create a book series.  This involved writing about a character in different stories and scenarios. We culminated our unit with authors sharing their characters' adventures.  The students really enjoyed this writing unit!
