Nonfiction Writing
We have been working on writing nonfiction about animals. We started writing as a whole class, filling out a thinking map after learning about turkeys. Then we used the thinking map to write 3 sentences.
The following 2 days, we worked as a small group using the same steps to get ideas on a thinking map and then using the map to write a sentence.
We ended the week, choosing our own animals to go through the process.
Thanksgiving Writing
Winter Party
