Writing Workshop
Our third quarter writing workshop will begin this week. Each day this week during your regular 1:00 class time you will meet with your ELA teacher to draft, revise, edit, and produce a personal narrative responding to one of two prompts:
- You have been chosen by NASA to be the first 4th grader in history to travel into space in a rocket ship. Write a story about your experience including your thoughts, feelings, and events that take place.
- Your best friend is going out of town to visit a relative and has asked you to babysit the family's pet chimpanzee named Banana. Write a story about your experience including your thoughts, feelings, and the events that take place.
Completion of this quarter's writing workshop will replace Language Skills 4: Composition Unit 5: Writing to a Prompt. This is a required work sample that all students must complete and submit.
While you will be working on this piece of writing with your ELA teacher, you will need to submit all your work to me via k-mail.
Due Dates:
- Final Draft - March 12th
- Digital Presentations - March 19th & 20th
This Week's Work Samples
There will be no work samples this week due to our writing workshop.
