VT wants to save them, so mad at someone for being an idiot, but having to save them bc you love them
yay
after that they listened and all went home
learned a lesson from the monkey
decided to be grateful for what he had and went back home i could definitely make something of this
I picked my three favorite from the several that I read yesterday, but have not chosen which one I want to make a story out of. However, I have decided that I want to expand on these stories. All of my other stories I have taken the themes/situations of the stories I read and changed them into modern examples that were related to them. But with these, I just want to add more detail, maybe switch up the plots a bit. I am excited to pick which one I will write on!

Emma,
ReplyDeleteI do not believe you wrote a week 11 story anywhere unless I am blind so I decided to comment on this one. I think the ideas you came up with are great and I am sure you will create an awesome story out of what you read. Personally I would choose the one about the monkey and learning to be grateful.
Emma, your story is very fun to read. I like how you wrote over the little tales. I think that your ideas on what you were wanting to write came out great and were fun. I think if you are able to expand the stories from what they are to what you have ideas to become will make these Stories even better than they are.
ReplyDeleteHi Emma,
ReplyDeleteI really liked how you took the time to expand on the details, plot lines, and characters you hope to work with in creating your story. These all seem to have a key take-home message and that is a great foundation in building up a children's story. All three of them are really good, and I am sure you will create a great story no matter what you choose. Maybe think about the titles you would have for these stories that would essentially make a child want to read it? This all sounds great, and I hope to see one of these stories in Week 12! Nice job!
