Reading and Writing Workshop - Dialogue and Realistic Fiction During December and January, we studied dialogue and realistic fiction as we worked to make sense of the stories we read and to create fictional stories like the ones we love.

Studying Dialogue We read series books and our own Just-Right books as we learned to understand dialogue and to use it to help us better comprehend characters and events in the story.

Writing Realistic Fiction We decided on storylines, planned characters, imagined possible ways our stories could go…

Writing Realistic Fiction drafted our stories…

Writing Realistic Fiction revised with purple pens, and edited with blue pens before publishing our realistic fiction stories.

Reader’s Theatre We turned our realistic fiction stories into scripts for Reader’s Theatre plays…

Reader’s Theatre and performed them for our parents.
