Halloween writing
By s. brown

I have students write personal narratives about a favorite time they dressed up. This covers you for any familyt hat does not celebrate Halloween. Then when the students conference with me I emphasize using describing words to make the story come alive. When the students have completed their final copy of the story, each student adds legs, arms, and a head around the paper with other materials and construction paper to represent the character they dressed up as. This makes a fun display. Sometimes I have accordian pleated the writing which makes the body of the person more flexible but also makes it a bit more difficult to read the terrific stories--so I haven't done this in a few years. Depends if you want a more 3-D look to your display.
