The goal for this unit is for students to write own Pourquoi story, in order to do this, we need to learn how these types of stories are organized. So, for the next few weeks we will be reading many of these stories and taking them apart in "story frames". These frames allow the students to see all of the parts that are included in a Pourquoi story. We will also be talking about word choice- using $100 words and similes in our stories to make them more interesting to the readers.
Once they take several stories apart in the story frame, they will use the same story frame to start building their own story.
Today we worked on this process with a story, titled "Why the Koala has a Stumpy Tail".
Next week we will read a story together and they will fill out the story frame on their own.
Have a great weekend!
