Today in Writers' Workshop, students worked on publishing their

Memoir.  Also, students learned a technique that some writers use called quick writing. A technique where writers will quickly write a stream of thoughts sometimes based on topic or events for a specific length of time. I taught students to look at a picture and try and implement the picture into a story.  For 4 short minutes students had to write the entire time using the picture on the right.  These quick writes have helped build stamina and also incorporate previously learned lessons such as adding dialogue, sounds words, precise words, etc.

Take a look at the picture and ask your child what they wrote about.
