What fiction pieces do YOU teach?

Filed Under (education, elementary, fiction writing, teaching writing) by akenyon on 22-05-2007

For my summer curriculum grant, I am trying to connect with other teachers globally on the subject of fiction writing.  My first questions to my fellow teachers are:

Do you teach fiction writing in your classroom? 

If so, what pieces do your kids create?

In my class, my kids write a free choice story for Hot Chocolate House, and we Native American legends.  We also write poems in the spring. All other pieces are personal narratives or journaling.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
