Parker Publishing Press

The 5th Grade Parker Publishing Press is in full swing!   Over the last couple of weeks, the students  have been delving into evaluating what literary qualities make a book hook their audience.   We have been focusing on finding morals/themes, problems and creative solutions found in books we like to read.  Watch some of these stories on-line and test your literary skills!   Post a comment with the title of the book you watched, the moral, the problem and solution!  I can't wait to see what moral, problem and creative solution you are going to use in your own book!   Let the writing begin!  

Storyline On-Line

We have also been reading bios and interviews of our favorite authors!  Students are focusing on finding a fact that helps them see an element of why the author chooses to write about their topic and how do they get their ideas.    Post a link to your favorite author's web page on Edmodo along with one cool fact your learned about them.
