Our current writing project is a story that students are illustrating and writing about manners. Although we share some ideas, each student brainstorms and organizes their own ideas with teacher assistance to create their final story. Learning to dictate a story to a teacher gets better with practice. Students often are excited about the beginning and end of a story and need to further develop the middle. Students continue throughout the year learning how to organize and sequence a story with clear focus. These early writing samples are a great way for students to share their talents in creativity and imagination. Sharing their stories is the final step and is the most important, as they learn to take pride in their work. Have your student share their stories with you during your daily reading time! This important opportunity of sharing is a great way to reinforce their learning and the best time for positive feedback!
