PROCEDURE
Introduction (__min.):
Objective: Today we are going to work on writing endings to stories. I am going to read you ____ only Im not going
to read the ending. Instead you are going to write what you think happens in the book. I want you to be creative and
use your imaginations.
Expectations: Your endings should only be 2-4 sentences for each page and should be about 3 pages long. If we have
time Ive left space for you to illustrate your ending as well. Your endings must somehow relate to the story line
(should have the same characters and should relate to the plot.) Your story must be punctuated and spelling must be
done coorectly!
Agenda: Read the story, talk about key features of the book, as a class talk about what makes a good ending, in desk
pods brainstorm possible ideas for endings for this story, write your story, if we have time share their stories and then I
will read the real ending.
