LEARNING GOAL
Students respond to a prompt and build a story with characters, events, and details — then read it aloud. TEACHER DIRECTIONS
1. Read Learning Turtle's problem aloud: he has a story idea and no ending. 2. Share the prompt and give two minutes of quiet thinking. 3. Students draw or write what happens next. 4. Everyone reads their rescue aloud — to a partner first, then to the device. 5. Capture the writing and the reading in one post.
