In December, students will be continuing to work on their second realistic fiction pieces. They are wrapping up the drafting stage and will begin revising and editing their pieces before they recopy their final drafts. A writing celebration will be held on Friday December 18th at 8:40am.
While
students are finishing their realistic fiction pieces, we will also begin a
nonfiction research reading and writing unit. The beginning of the unit will be taught through reading
workshop and read aloud. Students will research a nonfiction topic of their
choosing and create a narrative nonfiction piece based on their topic. The writing focus of this unit will be
teaching students organized note-taking skills, citing text evidence, as well
as using elaboration techniques, such as comparisons (similes and metaphors)
and using adjectives in description.
