OR You might consider making a book about your real life right now. Listen to this mentor text read by the author Patricia Pollacco. Almost all of Patricia Pollacco’s books are based on her real life.Your real-life book might be called, “The time that all the schools closed for a while.”Your book could contain narratives... stories of things you have done, experiences you have had, a feeling you have felt. It could contain information pieces about things you have learned such as washing your hands, cooking, using a new technology. It could contain opinion pieces such as what has been good about being home as well as what has not been as fun.This book might be one you’ll save and want to share with people in the future. In social studies, we learn books like this are called “primary sources.”Writing Narrative StoryWrite a real small moment narrative story! Remember that we think of a small moment as a short moment in time, not a whole week or a day but a few minutes of a day. Try to narrow as much as possible something that really happened to you! Have fun with it and read to a family member when you are done.
