Students responded to a painting "Fire and Light Against Darkness" with a brief story or poem.
They also described a "Hot Tamale" candy.
We further discussed conflict, and students listed in their notebooks types of conflict in fiction and nonfiction both, and examples of children's stories so they could consider the types of conflict found there.
"Theme -- not to mention plot -- emerges from the what if? of a problem." -- Nancy Atwell
Students listened to a read-aloud of a book by a local author, Sam Beeson.
We also read a little more of The Old Manor by Roni DaRonche, and a student shared the ending of her scary story.
Today students received a prompt they will prepare to type on Monday in the computer writing lab -- My Day as a Bird
