Candy conversation hearts make writing a sweet pastime. Fifth graders write narratives demonstrating a complete thought and correct punctuation. The trick here is that they must use the words on five candy conversation hearts as part of the dialogue. Since these hearts are printed with a variety of messages, pupils must cleverly connect them throughout their narratives.
