The Heart of the Story
Students have been working hard to find the most important part of their stories and then zoom in on that moment to paint a picture in their readers' minds. Together we read a recount and decided on the heart. Students were then given time to draft - focusing on just the heart we chose. Here are the results of their work. These are only drafts - and my apologies if they are hard to read, they were photographed without a flash to keep away the glare!
