What have we been up to this week?

How can we use the Key Concepts to ask a variety of deep and meaningful questions?
Picture
We are using the book Lulu and the Brontosaurus to track character traits, while finding evidence to support our ideas. Lulu is a bit of a bratty, stubborn, annoying character so far!

In writing, we began the week by starting to plan our our narrative writing pieces. To start, we drew simple comic of our plot outlines and then we moved on to writing leads for our stories.
