Today during our Writer's Workshop we learned that good writers always stay on topic. You can easily pick out their main idea...in fact, it's almost as if it pops right off the page!
An important part of the writing process is planning. For the first three weeks of school we worked on writing "sparkly" sentences. These are sentences that are detailed and interesting. We used charts to help us organize our ideas.
Now we are learning that a web can be useful tool to organize our ideas. First I modelled how to make a web using my doggie Champ as my main idea. The kiddies then picked a manageable topic of their choice and got to work! This week we will work on putting all our web ideas together to write a polished paragraph!
