We've been working on the "write a story about a kitten raised by a duck" lesson in Writing Strands 3. Rabbit is 9, and we did one paragraph a day. The first 3, we worked together, but today, K took a lot longer than usual with Tigger and Pooh, so Rabbit went ahead and wrote the last paragraph by herself. Then, together we did a little editing. I'm really proud of her effort, so I told her I would type up her story and put it on my blog.
The Adventures of a Kitten Raised by a Duck
Once there was a kitten raised by a duck. The first time the other ducklings ate corn, the kitten tried to lap it up off the ground. The kitten got dirt and hay on her rough tongue. It was funny to watch her spit out the dirt. She then asked the cow for some milk.
The ducklings gracefully glided into the pond. Splash! In went the kitten, spraying all the ducklings. The kitten decided she wasn't meant for water adventures.
The mother duck lead her sleepy ducklings back to the barn for a nap, and the kitten followed along. Suddenly, the kitten eyed a pretty butterfly. She got sidetracked and began to follow the butterfly. the butterfly was a friend of mother duck, and lead the kitten back to the mother duck.
Just before they fell asleep the kitten eyed a mouse. As all kittens, she wanted to chase the mouse and so she did. Now this frightened the other ducklings and they began to squawk and run all over the barn and the hay loft. In and out of the stalls the kitten and the ducklings ran, until at last the chase was over. When the mouse escaped, the kitten and the ducklings were out of breath and went to sleep.
The End
