Do not!!

As usual, I've discovered from a narrative writing sample that my kiddos picked up a few bad writing habits somewhere along the way. They are typical and boring beginnings for narratives. I will begin formal Writers' Workshop sessions pretty soon, but for now I couldn't resist making and hanging these posters as guidelines for what I consider ILLEGAL in my room. These beginnings and endings are boring, after all, and we aren't interested in being boring writers!
