Thanks to master teacher Liza Levenson, I was invited back to teach a 2-part workshop on Mystery Writing to the fabulous fourth graders at Bannockburn Elementary School!
I loved working with the two classes on brainstorming, crafting, and writing the mysteries.
Teacher Monica Obstgarten created this visual for the outline we came up with for our stories. Students used this outline to dream up terrific, suspenseful (and often funny) stories. Try using the outline to write your own mystery.
One response to “Bannockburn Elementary School Mystery Writers”
Dear Mary:
I had an awesome time working with you. I learned a lot from you on how to become a better writer. I found that now my writings are more complete and they flow better.
Thank you for coming to our 4th grade class at Bannockburn!
Sincerely,
Danny
