Ideas for Teachers from Teachers
How do you teach young writers to develop a simple plot?

 Let's hear it for a classic, shall we? Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel is a great book to share if your students are going to write to this colored wheel prompt. Point out the simple elements of this wonderful picture book's plot: introduction of characters and setting; development of problem; development of solution. Before your students begin writing, have them talk about what plots they could create around their colored vehicles.
