'Mae Among the Stars' is a narrative story written for young children that is based on the events of Mae Jemison's life. This week, you are going to write your own version of this story to tell the incredible tale of Mae's achievements. 

 

Like all good stories, our narrative will need to have a beginning, middle and end. Today we will focus on the beginning of the story - Mae's childhood. You will need to introduce the character of Mae, tell the reader what sort of child she was, what her dreams were and what difficulties she faced.
