Master Your Writing: The 5Ws and More!

Writing is such a joy! Students will explore narrative writing. We will rotate the different types of writing skills every four weeks so that students can have enough time to practice these. In each class, students will have some take-home and in-class activities to boost their writing skills including grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, and fluency. Students will occasionally engage with different fictional texts so as to expand their language and ideas. Next, students will begin brainstorming ideas based on each topic, along with a small discussion. During writing,  I will work with each student during this process. Afterward, they will begin writing their sentences, and I will check their progress as they go along. Some examples of characters we will write about include dragons, princesses, Minecraft characters, Pokemon characters, unicorns, and monsters. 
In addition, we also work on these aspects over the weeks:
-Basic sentences structure
-Sentence stretching.
-Character traits
-spelling
I mainly want to build students' confidence in sharing and writing their ideas so they can be lifelong writers!
