Last day of camp!

Our campers worked over time this week to get their books completed in time for our book fair while Ms. Adrienne was at jury duty. We covered so much in camp. We started with some icebreaker games that encouraged creative writing and critical thinking, we read a few stories to get an idea of what different writing styles and genres are like, and we learned new software!

Agenda
  • Finish Major Camp Project
  • Publish Project
  • Present Project at Book Fair (330pm)
Finish Major Camp Project
Today in our last day of camp, students focused on making their final edits, reviewing their final work, and publishing the book by 3pm for our book fair at 3330pm. Students were asked to complete their homework last night; work on finishing their draft for pages 6 through 10, review and edit pages 6 - 10, adding all of their final images, and getting the book to look the way they want. If they completed their homework last night, they will be well on their way to completing their story for publishing at 3pm.
