From The Minds and Mouths of Grade Three Students
  • I learned that cooperating gets the job done faster.
  • I learned how to use the scanner and that the pictures look funny upside down.
  • I learned that legends are really cool.
  • We learned that you need to colour really dark to make the picture show up on the scanner.
  • Legends are sometimes true, and sometimes fiction.
  • Legends were written long ago and written in countries all over the world.
  • I learned that legends are interesting and I am good at writing legends.
  • Legends include animals, princes, kings, famous people, and symbols.
  • They explain something that happened long long ago.
  • Sometimes the story changes like when you play the game "telephone"
  • Legends are easy and fun to read.
  • If you add adjectives then it makes a better story.
  • My favourite legend is Paul Bunyan.
