The story is to be about an adventure that happens on a trip. The adventure takes place over seven days. Team one tells what happens on Sunday, Team two on Monday, and so forth. For prewriting, determine the following story components with the whole group. Or have children suggest a location in the community.
Children also decide the time of year.
Have children brainstorm some ideas, such as an exciting canoe ride, meeting wild animals, climbing a mountain, or spotting alligators. List the ideas on the chalkboard. Work with each team but especially the first one so that children get off to a good start. Read the whole story to the class. Before children publish their book, work with three or four children to finalize the text.
