We are using Venn diagrams and story maps to help us plan for our writing projects. We talked about setting, characters, problems and solutions in the story. We identified four 'problems' in Where the Wild Things Are, and 'solutions' to each of these problems. The students in the three groups came up with some great ideas, and showed that they understand these elements.
With the Venn diagrams, students compared themselves to Max, identifying similarities and differences between themselves and the main character. We have quite a few children at this camp who think they are just as mischievous as Max!
From these plans we will now write our descriptive pieces, and work towards some great final drafts.
