Elem: Last lines of books and student writing

[Donna Miller <threers@HICKORY.NET>]

I have been lurking for several months and this is my first question.
Although you folks have answered hundreds of questions I didn't even know I
had yet! Thanks for the help to a new media coordinator!

My fourth grade teachers would like me to plan one or more lessons on the
last lines of books and relate it to the student's writing. We did one a
few weeks ago after the first lines thread on LM-Net that was very
effective. One teacher says that her students all want to end their stories
with "I went to bed and went to sleep." Since writing is tested in 4th
graders in NC, we want to encourage them to try other endings and give
examples of good ones. Any ideas? I will be glad to post a hit if there is
interest.

Thanks in andvance.
