Creative Writing Project

To go along with what we’ve been learning in science, this week we are writing creative stories about constellations. Last week we learned about some of the constellations and how ancient peoples would create stories to explain the constellations. We also learned where to locate these constellations in the sky. This week, the students had the chance to pick one of these constellations and write their own creative story explaining the constellation.  We started the stories in the beginning of the week, finished them by Thursday, and peer edited them. Today the students wrote out their final stories and drew a picture of their constellation to attach to their story. If they did not get a chance to finish in class, these will be due Monday, but there shouldn’t be too much to do this weekend. I’m excited to see what stories our class has written!
