Fiction vs Non Fiction

I had a sort of impromptu session with – the little boy I did a session with before – M’s oldest sister, S yesterday. Before I don my mining hat and go down to the post processing saltmine, I want to share something my son wrote in school. The class was learning on how to write fiction and non-fiction like plots, characters and settings. Since tomorrow (Thursday) will be the last day of school, the kids took home most of their stuff.  Here’s two pieces that my son wrote that caught my eye.

[They are supposed to do a "WANTED" ad]

1) Wanted: Three Little Pigs. Reward $50.00 if found. Obey Big Bad Wolf. He can catch you and eat you. If found, contact….

2) Wanted: Little Red Riding Hood. Stay Alert! Stay Alive! Do not go near. Beware of Wolf.

Kinda cute that he used those characters. hahah… Lastly:

Non-Fiction:  One day I had a loose tooth. It came out when I was eating breakfast. My house number is XXX. The end.

Comments from mommy: BORING!

Fiction: It was a beautiful day.. until a bad storm came! Lightning flashed, the thunder crashed! Until a funnel cloud appeared. It was a tornado!!! He knew he had to fight.

And he won!

Comments from mommy: VERY GOOD!

I am just so happy his fiction is so good. I particularly like the Lightning flashed, the thunder crashed part. LOL! For a going to be 7 y/o, it’s not bad. Really — since we don’t have tornadoes in BC.
