Hello and welcome to my second blog, in this blog I am going to put my writing lessons from Suzy's Scribbles and things I write like book reports and stories. Here is my first lesson that I did on Wednesday. I've started writing lessons with Suzyscribbles. To take part go to her blog. In the first lesson you have too plan a appealing character, a interesting setting, an intriguing problem, exiting events (the plot) and a satisfying solution
The book I've chosen is Old Yeller
Characters are: Travis and Old Yeller
Setting is: log cabin in the prairie in the middle of Texas
Problem: Travis's dad has to go on a long cattle drive that takes about a year and Travis has to look after the farm.
Plot: When Travis and old Yeller are working on the farm, a grizzy bear cut wanders into the farm and Travis's little brother tries to catch the cub. Then the mother bear comes running out of the woods that are behind their cabin towards Travis's little brother.
Solution: Old Yeller distracts the bear while Travis gets his gun and shoots the bear and Travis's little brother keeps the cub as a pet.

Just so it looks all organized, I'll post here again. Like I said before, you have identified the 5 elements of story excellently. Well done. Feel free to visit other students' lessons by clicking on their names on Mr. Linky. Commenting on each other's lesson brings encouragement to all!
