WRITER'S WORKSHOP!

Above the story is of the kids riding bikes across a bridge and falling off into the ocean.  In the ocean, they find a treasure chest!
The other day, I divided my class into two groups.  Each group wrote a story to read to the other half of our class.
In Writer's Workshop we practice what good writers do:
1.  Think
2.  Draw
3.  Label
4.  Write
5.  Add details
So, together we "wrote" a story paying close attention to all of the things good writers do.  The students LOVED this activity and worked really hard to think of a story their friends would be interested in.  At the end, they all worked together to add the details (color, more pictures, more labels, and even some more words)
