Beyond Once Upon a Time... or One Day I...
revising ordinary sentences into strong leads, then launching an original story that uses one
The writing of author Avi is inspiring student writers to try new techniques with the traits of organization and word choice. Join us in teaching (and adapting) this on-line lesson and sharing your students' work.
You can publish up to three of your students' edited and finished stories and writers' notebook pages at this page to be entered in a semi-annual contest for free classroom resources from the Northern Nevada Writing Project.
 Use these samples to inspire your student writers! Discussing the strengths of published student samples before, while, and after using this on-line assignment is important. If your students are engaged in trait- or skill-inspired discussions about any of the samples we've posted here, they will produce better writing, especially if you help them take their writing all the way through the writing process.
Thank you, those who share their students' writing with us. |
