Baby Animal Switch Story Writing

This book contains one story writing project for grades four to six based on the picture book Blueberries for Sal by Robert McKloskey. Students will write a humorous switch story plot based on the author's concept by choosing a new setting and their own animal characters. The story will be about two mothers whose babies are driving them crazy. To get a break, they decide to switch babies for a day/night. The teaching method incorporates vivid verbs, “showing”, and sensory imagery into each part of the story to create effective story language in a step by step process.
