Special thanks to Charlotte Fitts, a remarkable teacher, who always provides support and guidance in helping me monitor and adjust writing activities for my resource students. I thank her for providing me a copy of her lesson plans for writing fables so I can assist my students with organizational skills as they write their own story.
