little buddy on the beach - places based writing

tiny copper ant
where do you go all alone
secret adventure

each step a whisper
conquering pebble mountains
tickling the sand

what will you find here
cavernous shells threatening
to divert your path

brave antennas like
fingertips uncovering
stories from the past

I like the idea of giving students numbered photocopies to write a portion of the story. Clever idea!

Even as Jessie tried to examine his new found photo for details, he felt disappointment that the image was just not quite big enough. As he glanced over towards dad's tools, he saw a microscope! Dad sure was clever to bring it along.
As he examined the photo, Jessie was amazed at the details he could now see! "Oh, it's another boy!" he exclaimed joyfully.
