Over the past two weeks students have been focusing on making connections while they read to help them with deeper thinking and understanding. They have also been writing to connect-writing in such a way that the reader can connect to the ideas.

Students began this culminating writing project with an interview. They chose an adult at home and conducted a brief interview to gather information. Once back at school, students used sentence stems to write some complex sentences.  The next stage was to use a graphic organizer to organize their information into a paragraph structure. The paragraphs were then drafted and published on Google Slides.
