Next, they will draft, edit, and revise a story focused on how a pumpkin with that personality trait would behave.
To bring our stories to life, we will have a “Pumpkin Personalities” day where students will decorate a pumpkin as their story’s pumpkin character. Later, we will have a celebration and share our Pumpkin Personalities Vocabulary and Writing Project. We would love your support for this highly creative project.
