Story Pirates Return to Ranson Elementary
Ranson Elementary third, fourth and fifth grade students had been given homework
by the Story Pirates on their first visit to our school. The students participated in
an earlier "Idea Storm" assembly in which they helped to "write" a story. They were
reminded that all stories have beginnings,middles and endings. Story development
includes having interesting characters, plots and endings. Their homework was to
write a story for the Story Pirates and send it to them for editing and writing
suggestions. On their return visit, the Story Pirates would enact some of their
favorite stories that had been submitted.
On Friday, February 15, the students excitedly welcomed the Story Pirates back to
Ranson. The Story Pirates entertained the students with some stories that had
been written by students from around the country. But, the most exciting part of
their visit came when they brought stories to life that had had been written by:
Logan Link, Jocelyn Ayala,
Christopher Hine and Jynasia Puller.
Staff and students agreed that the Story Pirates were wonderful.
