Beginner Level
Each of these engaging classes is a stand-alone class. I will use different prompts and graphic organizers for each class. Over time learners will develop skills while writing about things that interest them. This is a fun class and is meant to have learners experience enjoyment in the writing process. Learners will write a different journal, retell, reflection, description, recount, narrative, etc. each class. It will follow the following format: 1. Introductions and a short icebreaker. 2. Introduction of an engaging writing prompt. These will be different each class and can include a picture, a writing topic, a student-made drawing,, or an interesting object. 3. Teacher modelling of a graphic organizer. 4. Independent practice filling out the graphic organizer with teacher support. 5. Teacher modelling of using the graphic organizer to write a piece. 6. Independent student practice using their own graphic organizer to write a narrative with teacher support. 7. Sharing time-Students will be encouraged to share their writing with their peers.
Learning Goals
1. Learners will use a graphic organizer to plan a narrative.
2. Learners will write a narrative with teacher support.
3. Learners will share their writing with an audience.
4. Learners will provide peer feedback.
