Animal Stories

Introduction

Hello Wonderful Writers!

You have already started planning your story and getting your ideas together. Today you will begin writing your rough draft. You will submit your rough draft to your teacher to review the rough draft, make changes and add details to make your writing stronger. Your teacher will send notes and set up a meeting to discuss any feedback with you. Use your writing checklist to review your writing and make sure you have all the necessary items for a good story.

You will also be learning about collective nouns. Some of these nouns may be important for your story when you are talking about groups of animals or groups of objects.
