Third Graders, Dreaming Big. We have been hard at work on our writing skills. Students have been learning strategies to hook their readers and keep them glued to their story. We’ve been analyzing what authors do and we notice there are many common features in their writing… We notice authors use sounds, dialogue, questions, action, thoughts and feelings in their writing. When they combine these different strategies, the writing becomes more powerful and the reader is engaged. 204 students have spent considerable time writing in ways that make their writing worth reading. Whether it is crafting an opening that “hooks” the reader, or developing characters and details in a way that keep a reader engaged, we are developing our skills in amazing ways!
So, as we put Once Upon a Time and The End behind us, watch and see how our skills and strategies evolve. I often share my own writing with students – so I thought my Valentine’s story might be a fun one to share with families, too. . . Soon, Mrs. “I did, Mrs. “OOOhh!” . Welcome to Discovery Education.
