Continue work on your monster story.
Step 1: Outline Step 2: Create a rough draft drawing of your monster. Step 3: Write your story. Is there a climb to the climax? Does the sequence of events make sense? Have you painted a clear picture of the setting in the first paragraph? What is the moral or big idea to your story? Is it clearly eluded to so that a young child could pick up on it? Is there a part in the story that would make someone laugh, feel frightened, or have an emotional reaction to? Think about voice. Does your character stay consistent through your story? Is it consistently written in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd person? What characteristics of your monster can children relate to? Is there a clear problem/solution to your story? YOu should answer yes to all of these questions. If there is a "no", "not really", or "kind of" answer to any question, go back and change/add to it so that each element is part of your story. Step 4: Have 4 classmates edit it. They should each add at least one "fix" in a question format. Address each of their questions. Then, go back and add 5 sparkle word adjectives to your story. Step 5: Illustrate the front cover. Use pencil first and then marker for the first page. This is the first thing people will see and decide if they want to investigate further. Make it remarkable. Step 6: Decide and then type. THINK: Which lines of your story are to go on which page? What lines are worth repeating or standing alone on a page? Go through your handwritten story and draw a red colored pencil line each place you want there to be a new page. Type your story (use spell check) with plenty of space so that you can cut each page/section out and glue on to each appropriate page. Start on the 2nd page!!!!!!!! The first page is the title page. The story begins on the 2nd page. Step 7: Create a title page on page one. Look at several picture books for examples. Step 8: Create an author page. Provide a small drawing of yourself along with 4-6 sentences about yourself, including where you got your inspiration to write about this character or topic. Step 9: Illustrate your book so that each page has a drawing or is part of a large drawing. Does the picture match what is happening in the story? Are the pictures clean and free of erase marks? Are the pictures supporting the mood of the story (Bold colors and lines for adventure, soft colors and lines for dreamy scenes)? Color should be present on at least 80% of the page. Be sure not to color darkly where words are present. Reminder: Your book, The Westing Game, is due tomorrow. Please finish reading it by class so that you can participate in the discussion. Be sure to bring the book with you to class, as well. We will be referring to parts and then handing them in.

If you finish early, you should continue work on your monster story.
