Today you got your first taste of what Writer's Workshop will be. We discussed and brainstormed a list of what our "writing territories" were. When considering "writing territiories" think about topics, genres and forms that your writing might take. I discussed my own "writing territories" and then I gave you a list of possible idea starters to help you along the way in your own brainstorming about your "writing territiories". After about 15-20 minutes of writing we shared as a class some of the things that we might be able to write about.
For the remainder of the class period I gave you time to do some review of the USA unit. You made up multiple choice questions, find the fib and taboo cards for our review game on Friday.
Here are some upcoming important dates:
- Entrepreneur essay (good copy) is due on Friday, April 22nd
- USA Unit Final is on Monday, April 25th (the study guide is here)
