Five Minute Creative Writing Challenge: "Fly Dog"
Students took 5 minutes in class to creatively write. They used an image they selected off of https://storybird.com for their creative inspiration. Spelling, punctuation, and capitalization skills are thrown out the window for this challenge so students can dig deep into their creative minds!
Story Map Worksheet
Students completed Story Map over chapters "How I Came to Life", "Christopher's House", and "Driving", which outlined the characters, events, problems, and resolutions of our reading.
