5H Writing
Writer's Workshop....Unit of Study: PERSONAL ESSAY
Students will be using the Teacher's College writer's workshop model from Columbia University. This program uses the writing process of collecting ideas, drafting ideas, revising, editing, and publishing their work.
The last mini unit is a friendly letter writing unit connected to our colonial unit. Students are assigned a pen pal in a different 5th grade class who represents a different colonial region. Students have to write to them telling them about their life in the colonies and asking questions about what it is like in their pen pal's colony. Students will be receiving their letter from their pen pal on Tuesday, and they will have to write a response letter. The response letter is due by Thursday, June 14th. Students need to make sure that they SHARE the colonial pen pal letter #2 with pen pal through Google. |
