Point of View

Today we discussed the point of view the book was written in. We know that the story is being told by Anna. Something to think about... How do you think the story would be different if the story was told from Caleb's point of view? I would like to you write how you think the story might be told differently if Caleb was telling it. Share your thoughts with everyone by clicking on the comment link below this post. I can't wait to read your comments!

What If?....

Don't forget your creative writing homework tonight! You were given three different situations where you were asked "What if...." Think outside the box for your responses. Try to imagine you are either Anna, Caleb or Sarah. What would you think or feel if the situations were different? I am looking forward to you sharing out your writing!

Our First Blog

I am very excited to get the students up and running on using our class blog spot! We will be able to share thoughts and ideas about books being read at home and in class. We have just read the book Sarah, Plain and Tall as a whole class. The students really enjoyed reading the book together and discussing the literary elements of the book. Students were able to be actively engaged in conversation and engaged in creative writing extensions based on the book.
