 * Step 1: Choose a topic for your story. **
 * Your story should have these parts:


 * Step 2: Writing and Conferring **


 * Meet with Mrs. Pollard to tell her what you want to write in your story. Everyone in the group will participate. Mrs. Pollard will write down your words with a yellow highlighter.
 * Then you will write over the words with pencils or markers to make them all your own. Take turns with your group members so that everyone has a chance to write.
 * Now you can illustrate, or draw pictures, for each page in your story. You will receive a new page after you and your group members have illustrated, traced or written, and reread the previous page to Mrs. Pollard. This is called the conference. Mrs. Pollard will help you with any changes or corrections at this time.


 * Step 3: Showtime! **


 * Each group will share their stories in the Author's Chair.
 * When you are a part of the audience, you will play TAG. TAG stands for - tell one thing you liked about the story, ask one question, and give one suggestion.
