TEACHER'S COMMENTS

 Although I am biased, I love the stories included on our web site. They are original works that went through considerable development by their 11 year old authors. 
     We decided to publish these stories on the web because we believe that publication is an important part of writing. If you can help us by reading a story and e mailing a constructive comment (directed to the student) to my e mail address, it would greatly contribute to our effort to make our writing meaningful. Try reading a story by a student whose first name begins with the same letter as your first name. 
    We have included the titles of the stories to help you in finding one that you may be interested in reading. These were written to the Vermont Narrative Writing Rubric. We focused on writing a coherent sequence of events. We tried to  include meaningful dialogue, use descriptive language and dramatize the action. These are the students' stories with plenty of coaching but no significant content revision from the teacher. We hope you enjoy them. Please  forward our web address to a friend. 
    Finally, a comment about the web site. It was designed and constructed entirely by students from the team with technical advice from Barb Gill. Special acknowledgement should go to Alex, Andrew, Brittany, Dan, Jacob and Matt.
