In Writer's Workshop this week, we learned a
couple of new writing concepts.
We are well on our way to becoming wonderful writers!
First, we learned how to sketch our pictures.
A sketch is a quick drawing of what we are planning to write about.
As a good writer, we want to be able to write a
complete story with a beginning, middle, and end.
Sketching helps us to have more time to write our words.
When we are finished writing, then we go back
and add detail to our pictures.
 |
| Grace has sketched her picture and written her story. Now, she is going back to color and add details. |
 |
| Luke is writing about going to sleep. He sketched his picture and began writing his story. |
Next, we discussed how a good writer has
a beginning, middle, and end to their story.
But, how do they get each part written on paper?
We used a special type of paper to help us organize our thoughts.
Then, we labeled each part as we wrote out our story.
B= beginning
M= middle
E= ending
 |
| I went on an airplane to Hawaii. I played on the beach. And then I ate with my family. |
 |
 |
| I went to the house. I played Wii. I went back to my house (on an airplane). So cute!!! |
Lastly, we started writing BOOKS!!!
YES, our very own books!
We are learning that a good writer can stretch
their story across 3 pages using a booklet.
So, we wrote our beginning on page 1, middle on page 2,
and our ending on page 3 of our booklets.
Check out a few of my friends who have
started writing their booklet stories.
 |
| Lathyn has started his story about going to the swimming pool. |
 |
 |
| Tagg wrote about his trip to Hawaii in a booklet. Beginning--I went to Hawaii with mom and dad. |
 |
| The middle of his story--I am going to the beach. |
 |
| The end of his story--I am going home. |
 |
| Kara-Lyne is writing about getting a dog. Beginning: I went to buy a dog. |
 |
| Middle: I found the perfect one. |
