YHBA: The Sloppy Copy Slipup by DyAnne DiSalvo

June 22nd, 2008 by Carl Harvey

In The Sloppy Copy Slipup, Brian is sure he is in trouble for one again not getting his rough draft done over the weekend. Over the course of the day, he shares the entire story with the teacher and finds out that while he thinks he has nothing to write about, he quickly figures out that the eventful story of his weekend was more than enough for an interesting and compelling story. This book screams to be read to students who think they have nothing to write about. I can see a lot of my teachers clamoring over a chance to get to it first this next year. Brian’s amazing well to tell a story can easily be a pattern for teachers to use with students — storytelling is a great way to help students become great writers, too!
