Prewriting

We have been learning about Prewriting this week as our first step of the Writing Process with the six traits writing series (which follows common core).  We have talked about strategies that writers can use in order to prewrite.  We have also talked about materials writers need in order to write and places where we can write.

Akilah shares her favorite place to write and materials she would need as a writer with her group.

A.J. shares her favorite writing place and materials with her group.

Today we made posters to hang around the room to help get our brains ready to write.  If we forget what it means to prewrite, we can look at the posters for ideas on ways to get started.  (Writers use prewriting strategies like the 5 W's (What, Why, Where, When, Who?), Ask & Answering Questions, talking to the others for ideas, drawing to get ideas, reading books to get ideas, and creating webs.)  Emily, Lucas, & Elijah are creating their poster.

Jaden, Caprice, and Reese are creating their poster.

Morgan, Carter, Brody, & Briana are creating their poster.

A.J., Blaine, & Mason creating their poster.
