Amelia Rules!

Today in writing we looked to Amelia's 6th-Grade Notebook by Marissa Moss for inspiration in writing with voice. This fun book is similar to Diary of a Wimpy Kid in that it shares the joys and sorrows of middle school life. From ogre-like teachers to navigating the cavernous hallways of a never-ending school, this book is about the ups and downs of being a middle school kid.

For our writing assignment students had to create a fictional student, middle school, and host of teachers. Then borrowing inspiration from Amelia they had to give their creative touches and comments from the perspective of a new (and overwhelmed) middle school student.
