When they saw me actually cut away the details on my model, it clicked. When they were able to cut away the details themselves, it clicked even more. It worked well because the story had a clear problem and solution. I cannot thank you enough for this freebie!!!! I can't wait to use it with other fiction stories! <br /><br />I am attempting to start a blog... it's in its bare beginnings now, and I don't know all the rules of the bloggy world yet... can I share this idea on my blog (with a link to you, of course!!!) so other teachers can have this freebie??? I'll wait to post anything until I have your permission. :) <br /><br />Thanks, again!!!<br /><br />Kelly K<br />Koonce's Kornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137488949932585900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557592942256975114.post-86300815894565576552012-10-09T20:00:12.436-04:002012-10-09T20:00:12.436-04:00Thanks for this, it's wonderful.
