CREATIVE WRITING


Children's Story Prep
  • We went to Stewart and interviewed our first-grade buddy.  We also read stories, drew pictures, and played at recess.  Everyone did a super job working with their kiddos!
HACAW


Organization/Big Picture
  • I went over the plan for the day, and I reminded everyone of our two focus points:  memoirs, and kids.
Writing Assignment
  • I introduced the requirements for the Graphic Memoir (p. 38).
Partner Work
  • We read the six questions on page 39 aloud, since those are the questions we have to answer with our partner.
