Narrative Writing
Students have been very busy planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing narratives over the past couple of weeks. Their work began with a graphic organizer to plan main events and details. Students then moved to lined paper to start drafting. The next step was to move to Book Creator Online to publish their books, using their writing, media, and oral literacy skills. Students quickly realized that the writing process is not a straight line. Their stories changed as they began to write online. Some students simply edited, some added/deleted ideas, and some changed the story completely.
What a great discussion this prompted about what professional writers do!

Reading, Drama and Oral Responses!
We have been enjoying the many fables that we have been reading over the past couple of weeks. Sometimes students have shared ideas, opinions and responses orally with partners and in a large group. Sometimes students have responded to questions in writing, learning about “better answers”.
One of our favourite ways to respond to reading is using Flipgrid. Students have been learning about point of view and how to “put yourself into someone else’s shoes”. Below are links to two Flipgrids students have completed. Ask your child to log you in so that you may enjoy all of the fantastic video responses!
