For today's Kids' Writing Workshop, I shared excerpts from five different books that are available to kids as prizes for registering for summer reading at Pasadena.beanstack.org. We learned different things from each book:
-We learned about tone from Front Desk
-We learned about motif from Gabby Garcia's Ultimate Playbook
-We learned about the hook from The Last Kids on Earth and the Cosmic Beyond
-We learned about fantasy/world-building from The Serpent's Secret
-We learned about mystery/suspense writing from Finding Mighty
Check out some of these new books at your local public library or
bookstore this summer! I created this list with a variety of
readers in mind, thinking about our school community,
and including some of my favorites from the year. Happy reading!
