ELEMENTARY 4TH & 5TH GRADE TAG
4th and 5th grade Talented and Gifted students spent a day at the Administration Center learning how to write short stories from author Mike Graf. Over 80 Identified talented and gifted students from grades 4-8 had an opportunity to work with Mike Graf, an author in residence for the week. While Mike was here, students learned about a process for writing realistic fiction, including character development and cliffhanger storylines. Students wrote drafts of a four chapter story and will send their final drafts to Mike for a critique.
Mike is an author of a 12 book series of national park adventures called The Adventures with the Parkers series. This series has already received national attention, awards, and excellent reviews. (Return to Table of Contents)
