A Children's Author + A Writing Celebration = Expressive Storytelling!

Grade 2 students read the story, Little Rockin' Roger and the Magic Glass Guitar this week. It was written by children's author and teacher, Benjamin Moores.  It is a highly engaging story about a boy who moves into a new house and finds a magic guitar. 2B's favourite part of the story was the audio clip of the song that Roger played on his guitar. Students asked Mr. Moores some questions about storytelling and he responded through video. Students listened attentively to his advice about what makes a great story. They used this to prepare for their first Writing Celebration!



Compliments given by 6A students.

Students were thankful for the wonderful compliments!

Sayako awaits positive feedback.

Grade 2 students were proud to share their stories.

Students noticed that 'Little Rockin' Roger' used "Show Not Tell" (...grin painted across his face)
