In October, we will be finishing up our first Unit of study in Writing:
Small Moments
Students will write about a memory of a small moment in
time.
•
Student goals for this unit include: Students will generate
story ideas by keeping lists and webbing multiple ideas of each item.
•
Students will write a focused story about a meaningful topic.
•
Students will move through the writing process- choosing a
topic, planning the parts, drafting using what they learned in Kindergarten AND
now elaborating with dialogue and action on each page.
•
Student's writing will become more readable with a focus
on spacing, using word wall words and approximations of unknown words -
beginning and ending consonants and medial vowels.
•
Students will draft 3-5 stories during this unit,
and publish one.
