Guided Writing
My elder daughter is studying P.2. She'll be 8 by the end of next month -- time flies! Last night she did a homework called Guided Writing as follows (the brown italics are what she wrote):
Look at the pictures carefully. Write about each picture. The following words and phrases may help you.
(1) The cat is hungry, it eats the dog's biscuits. The dog is angry, it barks at the cat.
(2) The dog runs after the cat, the cat is afraid, it runs away. The cat is tired about all of this run. Finally, the cat comes to the dog's house.
(4) The dog hears what the cat said, it thinks "I should not be so selfish." And the dog turns to the cat and gives the biscuits to the cat, and the cat says thank you. The dog and the cat become friends.

All through the writing, she refused to let me read or help, only occasionally asked me how to spell a few words, until she finished her composition. Tell you what: My wife and I are so proud of her.
