Developing Writers

Last year we implemented a new Writing Workshop in grades 1-3, and I continue to be amazed by how students respond. Our first two weeks we focused on brainstorming ideas to write about and developing these topics through storyboarding. If you ask your son or daughter, they should be able to tell you that we are working on writing personal narratives, and that these stories must have the following 4 things: characters, setting, problem, and resolution. No happy stories here! :)
