New StoryJumper Publication




The students created a narrative story together as an interactive writing project in our classroom. We studied "trouble stories", stories that have problems and solutions with characters and settings. While the students learned about these stories, they also learned about 3rd person narratives. These stories are told from another person's perspective, not our own. For context, the students also participated in an author study, learning about the books written by Jan Brett. Her books provided a framework for us as we developed our own story called "Sara's Backpack". Please enjoy this book. We only have it online at this point, but we would love to have it in hardcover one day so we can share it with other classes at our school.
As you read the story, challenge yourself to see the story elements from Jan Brett's books. Have fun! Click here to read the book (if the link does not work, copy and paste this url into your browser http://www.storyjumper.com/book/index/4321862/VTStudent1
