I have visited many of our
classes over the last couple of weeks, sharing macrophotographs of
snowflakes. We spent time making observations
about the different types of snowflakes.
Inspired by this, I invite our Barrows Shining Stars to participate in
our optional winter writing prompt. If you could be a snowflake anyplace in the
world, where would that be? I invite
students to take the point of view of the snowflake (Point of view means the perspective of the person [narrator] who is
telling the story) and describe their shape (can you use mathematical terms?) and describe the geography by
their location (what landforms are
around? How is the weather? What types
of plants and animals are around?) Students
can draw, write, or both to share their story!
Try this challenge over
winter vacation and turn in your story to the office when we get back. Stories will be collected until January 13th,
and then we will display them for everybody to see!
Happy
writing! Love, Mrs. Leonard
