**Trick**
Had my Year 4 students do a reading of text and images today (they made an origami rabbit), then we did group circle writing about Bunnies. Each student in the group writes the beginning of a short Bunny story, then they swap papers and next they write the middle of the story, swap again.....until finished. This way, they do sequencing, characterization, story flow, critique procedure text types, etc

Best story is judged by their teacher and then the group with the best story comes over to the Library and we do a laptop video of them reading the story (with their origami bunnies to add colour) and lastly their story is screened to the whole class using a data projector.

Just a little trick to make it seem more real - they get a product at the end! Also, if parents permit, I pop it onto a student's flashdrive for them to take home. Annette
