After completing my author study on Kate DiCamillo, I realized that there are a lot of great ways to encompass the style of writing from the author with children. Kate DiCamillo focuses a lot on writing realistic fiction and fantasy stories that include unique character qualities, problems and solutions, as well as unique vocabulary and a message from the author.
Here are some ideas for a Unit on writing a realistic fiction/fantasy story:
- Create a character web with detailed adjectives that describe the character's personality
- Create a list of possible problems and solutions that include unexpected turns and surprises for the reader
- Jot down unique vocabulary usageon sticky notes that are included in the story
- Construct a story that includes real characters with real problems and lessons to learn about the journey of life
