Amelia's school participated in the young author contest this year.Of course we encouraged Amelia to participate. I had a hard time getting her to understand the concept that there had to be a character, the character had to do something interesting and it had to have a flow to it, even though we read to her 2 or more books per day, every day since she was born!! I finally started piecing it together for her. I would ask her the necessary questions and write down her answers. And she was really not into the character being named something other than Amelia!! We settled on Rosie - it made her pretty happy. Her story was about Rosie adopting a puppy, taking him home and everything he saw along the way. And how he met the animals at Rosie's house, which was actually a farm. Although she didn't win, she was recognized at her school for participating and received a certificate, medal and young author's pin! Hopefully next year she can create/write the entire thing herself.
