Class Experience

Each week, this class will feature a different squiggle line, so students can enjoy a new experience every time they join the group!  The lessons will begin with a short discussion about using our creativity and having fun. We can use our imagination to create anything we want!  Learners will then have time to look at their squiggle lines and think about what they see. They will add to their squiggles to create something unique, and then write about their awesome drawings. The teacher will draw along and ask each student to help her with details for her story. Finally, we will all have the opportunity to share our creations with the class.

Learning Goals

Students will feel free to use their creativity.  Students will enjoy the writing process and practice using appropriate sentence structure to tell about their drawings.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I've used this process with my students in the past, and they loved it!  Using a squiggle line as a writing prompt encourages creativity without limitations, so the students' imaginations run wild.  This technique is very effective for motivating early writers, because it allows them to begin with an illustration followed by the chance to write about their work.
