Mrs. McGowan's class

Creative Writing ... 1st Grade Style

We ended our year (2003) by writing stories and illustrating pages to make a book. Everyone really enjoyed seeing their story develop.

2009 Ed. note: a few examples of student work are still available:

Giana: The Lost Turtle Justin: Stinky Cheese

Patrick: Lost In Space

To see how we used writing process steps to create these stories go to:

Justin

Once upon a time two aliens on Jupiter took a walk. Ed and Freddy went to the pit hole to play. The pit hole was deep and filled with cheese. Ed and Freddy liked to swim in the cheese.

This time, they got stuck in the cheese and could not get out. Just then their mom came to find them. She heard them calling for help! Then she pulled them out of the pit hole and they all went home.

Ed and Freddy had to take a bath because of the stinky cheese.

Giana

The Lost Turtle

One day, Jilly got out of the cage and went out the door. All of a sudden she was lost in the yard.

I tried to find her but I could not. I thought she was behind a tree but she was not there. Oh, no! She probably fell in a hole.

She did! "There you are, " I said. I gave her a bath and we went to bed.

Patrick

Lost In Space

     The engine was not working right. He crashed on Mars. He was only hurt a little and he was sad because he was far away from his family.
     Then some Martians came to help. They helped my dad fix the ship. He went back to Earth and he was happy to be home.
