Writing tasks to try this week (June 10 - 16):
- Having trouble thinking of what to write about? Not sure what details you can add to your stories? Listen to “Ralph Tells a Story” to give you some inspiration!
- June is National Indigenous History Month. This is an exciting time to celebrate First Nations, Inuit, and Metis culture and people. Read “The Walrus and the Caribou” on Epic Books by Canadian writer Maika Harper. Follow the prompt at the end of the story: what animal would you make? Draw and write about your animal!
- Write a cooperative story! Take turns with a friend or family member to cooperatively write a story as a team. A fun way to decide how many words each partner gets to add to the story is to roll a die. For example, partner 1 rolls a 4 and writes 4 words to start the story (like, once upon a time…). Partner 2 rolls a 6 and adds 6 more words (there was a huge elephant named…)! Keep taking turns until you finish your cooperative story.
- Think about a story you would like to write or one that you have already written. Where does/did it take place? This is called the setting. Draw or create your setting out of different materials you find around your house or outside. Label the different areas of your setting. Challenge yourself to write as many details as you can about your setting.
- What’s a change you’d like to see in the world? What’s a message of hope you’d like to send to the world? Listen to the book “Say Something!” to hear ideas for how to share your voice. Make a sign, poster, video, journal entry, postcard, etc. to share your message with others. More ideas about how to share your voice can be found here.
