Let Me Tell You a Story About a Pumpkin

Students should use their imagination to write their stories. Students should not copy the teacher's example. Students should simply use the title and sequenced format (first, then, next, finally) to guide their sentences.

Students Should Follow these Guidelines:

• Write in Paragraph Format
• Add your name and the date (the date of the calendar writing prompt)
• Topic Sentence
• Three Supporting Sentences (be descriptive)
• Closing Sentence (let your audience know you are finished)
• Use descriptive phrases and describing words (use adjectives)
