Yesterday we brainstormed many ideas for possible dreams. Today, we choose two of those ideas and began writing dream stories!  The focus of today’s lesson was about writing a beginning, middle, and end as well as using chronological order so that our writing sounds like a story.

First we looked at my first draft.  Students were not very impressed!  They had a lot of suggestions for me and helped to write a second draft.

Then students began to write their first drafts.  Thank-you to Owen and Aislinn for sharing their writing and talking about the things they did well and next steps for tomorrow!
