We have been making lists in our writer's notebooks of people who are important to us and then listing below their names moments we have had with them that we remember with crystal clarity. Students then met with a partner to tell the stories of some of the moments they listed. Students are soon going to be asked to pick just one idea and write about it, using dialog, a catchy beginning, and a clear beginning, middle, and end. I look forward to the end of this unit where I can read about many special memories. Here are some pictures of students sharing their lists and stories with a partner.
I can generate ideas for a story by thinking of important people in my life and moments I've had with them.

I look forward to the end of this unit where I can read about many special memories. Here are some pictures of students sharing their lists and stories with a partner. Next, we are going to focus on writing with great detail and zooming in to tell the story, not just summarize what happened. That is a huge step for young writers! Hopefully, their stories will be ready to share with you at conferences at the end of October.
