Fairy Tale Saturday

Fairy Tale workshop in action:

Emmett and Gil looking over their stories.

Zahara reading her twist on "Cinderella".

Madeleine and Erika creating twisted tales of their own!

Luke and Malyka thinking hard about their drafts.

Biographies

This week our writers worked on reading and writing biographies. They did an amazing job testing out the writing process as they did a pre-write, a draft, revised and edited, peer conferenced, and some of them even published! Some students wrote about funny memories, some wrote about their hopes and dreams.  We learned a lot about each other, biography writing, and the writing process.


Great job today, writers! Can't wait for next week...we will be studying FAIRY TALES!

*Next week I hope to take some photos of the young writers and their work! 
*Check back soon for a Word Bank and Books We Read update.
