Indian in the Cupboard [Week 2]

We used 'The Indian in the Cupboard' by Lynne Reid Banks as the basis of a story writing English Unit. The second week of the unit, we looked at how authors use speech punctuation [this was a recap for us], and apply last week's learning of show not tell to use appropriate speech verbs. We then used show not tell to extend the reporting clause to show what the character is doing as they are speaking.
