Reading/Writing Workshop
Our reading journey will include a trip through fiction. We will be reading and examining myths and short fiction. You will continue to be able to check out your favorite genres from our library. However, the majority of our unit we will be reading the Dystopian novel, "Legend" by Marie Lu. {See the movie trailer link below. }
Reading and writing go hand-in-hand, so we will also be exploring the genre of fiction in writing. We will work on getting your writing notebook filled with ideas for you to mine throughout the year so you will always have a place to go when you "get stuck!" In addition to writing, we will be examining the writing process and how it can help us to get our ideas out of our heads and onto the paper. As we work through this process, we will be examining various techniques that will help to grab your reader's attention and take your writing to the next level.
Bring your ideas, computer, writing utensils and let's get going!
