Have You Ever

Have You Ever … is a narrative about an unconventional teacher meeting her new class.  She has blue spiky hair and armloads of bangles and introduces her students to the story-sharing game, Have You Ever …  The story is told in dialogue and narrative.

The story has a problem solution structure.  The text is composed of a variety of sentence types.  Illustrations support the text but not all events are shown.  The book concludes with a two-page spread that tells how to write a narrative.

Some words may require clarification: swaggered, hysterically, ushered, shrugged, supercilious, indignantly, apprehensively.  Similes: jangled like a box of cat bells, blue like a cartoon sky.
