Writing
My kids have amazing stories to tell and I’m sure you do as well. I gave your mom a blank book for you. Can you write a story about a toy or object that comes to life?
If you struggle knowing what to write, start off by telling a story to a sibling or your mom or dad. Sometimes the thought of writing the story is the hardest part, but when you’re imagination takes over, ideas usually come spilling out!
The pages are blank so you can illustrate it as well.
One thing about these blank books is the fact that they don’t have lines, but rather blank pages. There are a couple things you can do to make it easier to write so it looks nice and neat.
- You can type it on the computer print it out and cut and paste it in the book.
- If you hand write it, put a lined paper under the page so that your writing is straight instead of slanted and going all over the paper.
- You could also take a ruler and draw lines on the pages.
Please bring your story to Vanguard to share with us!
Think about
How do Omri and Little Bear act toward each other?
Was it wise to show Little Bear to Patrick?
Why don’t Boone and Little Bear get along and what did Omri do to change their feelings?
What would happen if Omri put all of his plastic toys into the cupboard?
How does Omri change throughout the book (both good and bad)?
What is a stereotype and what examples are present in the book?
If you had a magic cupboard like Omri, what would you put inside?
