Shhh! Hide this from your mother. Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11th. To honor her, you’ll be giving your mom a book which will consist of at least 3 stories, 3 poems, and 3 games/activities.
You may draw your own pictures, find pictures from magazines, or print them off the computer. Your journal will be graded on 3 criteria: clear writing, neatness and originality. This means that no 2 journals will be alike!
You will type your stories and bind your book any way you wish. You may even want to figure out how to make special “interesting” pages, like pop-up pages, slider pages, etc.
Please do your best and your neatest work because I have a
feeling your mom will want to keep this for a long time.
Each story should be at least 140 words. Use all the good writing techniques you’ve learned this year ... go deeper, create
snapshots and thoughtshots, and have your stories POP
with your VOICE.
