Our first writing project of this year was a creative writing piece to enter into the Elmvale Fall Fair.

First, students brainstormed a list of ideas together. Then they each got to work writing a draft with paper and pencil.  The next step – Google Docs!  Students tried out their revision skills as they learned how to use Google Docs to write a second draft.

We engaged in some mini-lessons about writing complete sentences that make sense, adding details using our five senses, and re-organizing our ideas.
