Descriptive Writing

For the last couple weeks our class has been focusing a lot on character development in our reading and writing. Students are able to see character development in their books, but it's been difficult to apply it in their stories.

In an attempt to help them with this, I found something on the Web called Creature Creator. It allows you to create a creature, then asks a lot of different questions about the creature you created. At the end of the questioning it puts everything into a story.

Students are able to see the character development through this activity.

Once they create their creator they will using the Snipping Tool and save it as JPEG to post onto our blog.

They will then use Build Your Wild Self to build their own creature and write their own story about their wild-self.

  1. Hi, Cassie I like this idea of how the students get to create a creature for a story. They get to see and write about each others creatures in their blogs.
