Kekla Magoon's Mini-Lesson on Points of View

From today's Teacher's Write mini-lesson, the wonderful Kekla Magoon. Kekla is one of my favorite authors. I love her fresh voice and the topics she chooses to write about. She takes me to places I've never been and I learn so much.

To see today's quick write lesson visit Kate Messner's Teachers Write blog: http://www.katemessner.com/teachers-write-7-30-15-thursday-quick-write-with-kekla-magoon/


My quick write response of two characters I'm getting to know in a wip. It's enough of a draft to play with later. Thanks, Kekla!

Irene Empty Flour Sack The pantry flour sack was empty so I washed it and hung it up on the basement line. I’ll cut an apron for Pearl covered in flowers and tuck a tea towel into each pocket. I’ll add Mrs. Lesley’s recipe for Date and Nut Bars. Someday, when we are ladies with our own homes we will make fancy foods for our husbands. Our aprons will be starched and our tea towels will be finest linen. Linda Mitchell 7/30/15 all rights reserved

Mrs. Lesley Empty Flour Sack I cannot keep enough eyes on that girl, Irene. I need blacking cloths for the fire place and Mrs. Guilder’s shoe kit. That old flour sack was in the kitchen pantry yesterday and I went to take the shears to it -- but it was gone. Looked all over for it. Irene was awful quiet as she scrubbed pots in the sink.     Irene, where is that flour sack?     Which sack, ma’am?     Oh, for pity sake...the newly emptied one.     Dripping dry in the basement, ma’am.     What on heaven’s green earth for?     I’d thought to make a new apron, ma’am.     You  have plenty of service aprons.     An apron for my cousin, ma’am….she     has needed a new one for a long time, ma’am. Oh, dear girl. A flour sack apron... How can I deny such a luxury to your friend?
