Each week we read a new story, and then students have the opportunity to write their own story, based on the theme of the book! #creative
Class experience
US Grade 2 - 4
Each week, we'll read and discuss a new story. Then, students will have an opportunity to write a story of their own! :) I'll give guidance for a starting place for their story, and help them create a simple "idea page" to get their ideas written down with ease, based on the theme or topic of the book selected that week. At the end, students will have the opportunity to share and celebrate their awesome stores! A perfect way to bring some extra creativity, writing and story-telling fun...
Students will listen to and identify key elements within a story. Students will reflect on their own experiences and connections to the story. Students will use creativity to write their own story. Students will share their stories and encourage the sharing of others with compassion, kindness, and respect.
Story Time and Writer's Workshop were two of my FAVORITE things to teach as a classroom teacher. :) So I thought it would be fun to combine them and allow the inspiration and creativity of other authors inspire students to create stories of their own, as a way to get their creativity rolling and exploring their unique perspectives and abilities as writers.
Homework Offered
There isn't any homework for this class. If some students wish to go deeper with expanding on and editing their stories, I'd be happy to host a separate Writer's Workshop where we could do that! :) Just let me now!Assessments Offered
Students are assessed by their participation -- this means active listening, an openness to share (and practicing the courage and confidence that goes with this!), as well as doing their best to write a story of their own.Grades Offered
All that is needed is a pen or pencil and some paper to write on for the Writer's Workshop part of class. :)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
