Sharing our Writing!

Walt: share our writing on our blogs in interesting ways.

Instructions:

You will have just finished your exciting writing on the reading group olympics.

It would be a shame to have spent so long writing this amazing piece of writing, only to make it look boring by posting it on your blog in a boring way.

Using the video from the event, you will need to take screenshots and use them to create a presentation to annotate the event. Create speech bubbles to show and teall what happened.

Use De Niro's example to help you come up with ideas.

Positive messages only!
