Instructional Ideas
- Be sure to provide students with specific expectations for their writing, such as length, author's tone, and use of evidence, either with an initial list of guidelines or rubric
Classroom Considerations
- Some parts of the lesson call for use of a book titled The Rumpelstiltskin Problem, by Vivian Vande Velde, which you will have to purchase; use of the book, however, is not necessary for the activity
Pros
- Engaging and creative idea for a writing activity
- Great way to consider the structure and style of writing news articles
Cons
- Resource includes broad outline of activities, lacking great detail and materials for instruction
