This document outlines a lesson plan for a 3rd grade class to help students recognize and use various literary techniques in their own fictional writing. Over the course of a week, the students will read Dr. Seuss books, discuss the author's techniques, create a class story together, write tongue twisters, and research other techniques online. They will then apply what they've learned by writing their own stories that incorporate literary techniques. Technology such as computers and videos will be used to support the research and creative aspects of the lesson.
