This week I have read the three books you see on the picture aloud to kids during the snack time. They listened to the stories and responded in their journals. I will read some more stories and then they will choose their best response to share with me. Then we will work with these texts as we have done with others, looking at what we could change and improve to make our thinking more clear to someone who read our writing.
I used the same three books in our writing workshop.
Together with family stories in UOI we are learning about personal narratives in Literacy.
Personal Narratives are true stories based on the experiences from the writer's life.
Writers write from their heart about what matters the most.
Over the next five weeks we will inquire into:
- what makes a good personal narrative
- how to develop ideas
- how to organize the text
- ways to revise
We have learned already that writers often make lists to collect ideas. We revisited this strategy, because lists can lead to unexpected ideas, they give possibilities and can be viewed as places to begin thinking.
To write a good list you should think big and accept all ideas.
We have written simple list before. Now we wrote elaborated lists.
Three days, three books, three lists.
Each book that you see on the picture gave us inspiration to write a different list.
Our next step is to spend time choosing the idea, exploring mentor texts, envisioning and planning before we write our first drafts.
