Our eighth grade short stories block is combined with our play practice. (I'll post something on our play later.) The students were introduced to the six elements of story writing:
Point of View
Setting
Plot
Character
Conflict
Theme
They will analyze what each element brings to the story, and how each are interrelated in driving a story. The students will then write their own short story!
My chalk drawing above is from a photograph of a national park in Canada. A beautiful "setting!"

Rick,
What type of chalk do you use? Those are stunning!
Hi Cynthia,
I used bits and pieces of an assortment of chalks! There are a couple of newer chalks whose brands I will check when I'm in my classroom. Thanks for the nice comment.

Hi Rick,
I was wondering the same thing on if you had preferences on which type(s) of chalk you use. I really enjoyed being in training with you at RSC and it is fun to see updates on your blog of what you have been up to in the classroom. I am taking a 6th grade this year and came across your work while doing some research for my classroom supplies order. Nice to see you and hope we can connect. Be well.
