DETAILS, DETAILS, DETAILS!

The fourth grade was treated to a visit from author Steve Krasner thanks to TESPTO enrichment.  He was a sports reporter who covered the Boston Red Sox for years and has written several books as well. He shared his talents with the students along with lots of humor!

Each class worked with Mr. Krasner for an hour learning about the craft of writing. Our class worked together to create a story about the theft of a recipe for a new candy flavor right before it was about to be auctioned off. As Steven "nudged" them to add details, details, details, to help the reader understand, they expanded on the mystery. The challenge next is for each child to write an ending for our story.
