Week One
This year we're working on writing stories. Danny's writing is a work in progress and we're concentrating strongly on developing her grammar and vocabulary skills. We're also encouraging her to read a lot of books and luckily for us, she doesn't need any encouragement. One of the best resources we've come across is Lesson Pathways (it's free). We're currently using their Language Arts pathway and it's a hub of resources, we highly recommend it.
Our first unit for understanding story writing is creating a setting. Here are the links we're using:
Short Story Elements
Story Settings : Fun interactive activity where the listener has to guess where the story is taking place.
Setting of a Story: Worksheets
Interactives: Elements of a story : Learn about settings through the story Cinderella.
Primary Resources: Story Settings Powerpoint : Powerpoint will ask you to download when you click the link. Good intro for learning about settings.
If you're working on story telling/creative writing, hope these links are helpful. We're always open to new resources, so please share in the comments if you've found some helpful tools.
