Alien Invasion...

My youngest came to me today and wanted to write his own story.   He found a book we have that helps teach young writers how to write an adventure story.  They have great pictures to help get the creative juices flowing & boy, did it work with Truman!   There is a deserted island, a rainforest, a marvelous machine, and of course - the alient invasion.   He originally wanted to combine all the settings and use lots of different characters and travel to different universes in his story.   But, once he got to the actual act of writing, the story got pared down just a bit.   It was so cute to watch him sound out each word & at some points get the most puzzled look on his face..."how do you make the uew sound?"    I love moments like this!
