Unsent Letter

Using sequential order and descriptor techniques, students will build on what they have learned in the “during” activity, and choose a character to tell the story from their perspective. Students can choose from either the tree's or the boy's perspective, then write a story from the perspective of the character as if telling the boy's family, or the tree's family, what happened.
