Happy Birthday Trina Schart Hyman!
(We miss you Trina!) If you aren’t familiar with this fabulous children’s book author/illustrator, make sure you check out her wonderful books. Start with her Red Riding Hood.
Writing Exercise: Has there ever been an experience in your life that had a fairy-tale quality to it? Ever create a fairy tale fantasy with you as a star? Here’s your chance! Write about one of the above for your prompt today.
Im a big fan of writing exercises that not only test their knowledge and skills but use their imagination. they are so much more interested in the assignment when they have fun!
Thanks Carmen! I agree. I recall when I had students write in journals they’d say, “What shall we write about today?” These often can help. And in the morning, they help ME get started with MY day too! Thanks for commenting!
