Writer's Workshop

Skipping lines when drafting makes the editing process easier.

Jeevan could write all day! 

Jack couldn't wait to show me how much he wrote!  That is just ONE PARAGRAPH of his five paragraph personal narrative! WOW!  Go Jack!

A planning page helps the writer to focus on what he/she wants to write. 

Today we discussed the importance of using a planning page when drafting any writing piece.  The students of 3M used a personal narrative planning page to draft their 3 main details of their writing.  Most students were excited to share how easy drafting was when they made a plan first!  I had so many students proud to show me how much they were able to write!
