Writing a Folktale

Good job today...
After going over similes and metaphors, we talked about using quotes and italics for thoughts.  Then we edited last week's writing in the computer lab. We finished the day by reading Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, by William Steig. (You can listen to it online at Stories - scroll down the page.)
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Write an original folkale, following the "Four Steps" handout.
IT SHOULD INCLUDE:
1. At least one metaphor or simile.
2. At least one direct quote.
3. At least one thought quote.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING YOUR STORIES!
ALSO:  Please look at Spelling City and try to work on the vocabulary from the story.
DUE:  MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY.
GOOD LUCK!

  3. The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if
    it can survive a twenty five foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation.
    My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know
    this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    familiarity about unexpected feelings.
