Writing practice

Today we talked in class about finding ways that we could get in a little bit more writing practice. As a class, we decided that students could do some writing practice at home a couple of times a week on top of what they already do in class. Students have the option of writing on kidblog, or in a writing duo tang from school. They can choose ANY topic they like. Fact or fiction, story, poem, interview...whatever they want! Only guidelines for now is that they need to write at least 50 words per entry and that each entry needs a title and date. Students made "heart maps" today, just in case they ever get stuck for ideas. You will find this in their agenda, or in their blue writing duo tang. Only students who didn't think that using kidblog at home on a regular basis would work took home duo tangs. Students do not need to use kid blog, this is just one option. 

I will be checking every Monday for two journal entries or two blog posts. 

Any questions....just ask!
