There is a new pocket chart in our classroom! Today we learned how to monitor our own progress in writing. We learned that there are 5 stages in the writing process and what each stage looks like. We learned how to use the chart to keep track of what stage we are working at. As we move through the stages during writer’s workshop we move our name.  This will help us to focus on a specific part of our writing and know exactly what we need to be doing to be successful writers!

Keeping Track Of Our Writing

Today we learned about timelines.Timelines are a great way to tell a story! A timeline is basically a line  with phrases about that moment or that day.An example of a time line would be a straight line down or across a page.On one side would be a word like candy and the other side would tell about the candy like – delicious   – hard -soft things like that.Timelines also help the reader to understand what the timeline is about. I thought making a timeline was a little bit challinging but also easy

We do revising to help us fix stuff. We try to make our writing better. Also make new sentences. We can also re -read what we wrote .You can use a coloured pencil to corect our spelling and put our periods in the right place.When you read to someone you can fix mistakes that you did not  notice. Thats why you can use a coloured pencil.We revise by taking turns by reading  our writing together and when I read to Rachel she was a very good listener and I  was a good one too. Me and hailey really like revising beacase we got a chance to read our reading together  and we like revising because it will make a perfect story when you are done your bad copy. Thats why its good to use every other line. So you can re -w rite it .THE END
