Wow! We are so impressed with our amazing writers.
Our students have now completed Bend 1 for opinion writing. What does this mean?
Students have learned to make their writing long and strong. We can do this by writing about a character we have fallen in love with, keeping our audience in mind, and using a checklist to edit our letters. When we uncover our opinions about books, we can study characters, favorite parts, and pictures.
Yesterday, our writers were sad Writer's Workshop had come to end. Can you believe that? They did not want to stop writing. Students learned that they will become stronger writers by picturing their audience and writing with that person in mind. For example, a friend wrote that I should read The Gingerbread Man because she knows that is my favorite cookie. How smart! Of course, I want to read a book that features my favorite cookie. Way to keep your reader in mind!
Ways we think about our reader:
- We can include details we know the reader will enjoy.
- Retell interesting parts.
- Make sure not to give away the ending!
Don't forget to celebrate your little author!
