"Such a fun assignment that fostered the motivation that my reluctant writer so needed! My son loved the prewriting table with choices, which also helped him organize his paragraphs. The editing checklist at the end also helped him be in charge of his own writing." -Daniela B., Homeschool Mom

Students use the provided matrix to write about this Valentine's Day experience! Then get ready for a memorable story they'll love sharing with classmates, family, and friends. 

Space is provided for students to write out their story with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Extra writing pages are included for easy extension when needed. Teachers will love that metacognition is encouraged via the editing checkbox!
