Hip Hop Hooray for all our writers! This week the students finished publishing their Narratives, or short personal stories. They have been working SO hard each day in class. Take a look at that dedication!
They were so proud to finally have produced amazing true stories about their lives. Students are now familiar with all the parts of the writing process. 
They were so proud to finally have produced amazing true stories about their lives. Students are now familiar with all the parts of the writing process. 
1. Prewriting-Free writing, journalling, listing, brainstorming.
2. Drafting-Selecting best ideas, getting the stories down, speed writing, using timelines. This is time to load up on details and write everything they said, felt, thought, remembered, etc.
3. Revising- 'Dressing up' the story, checking sequence, add/delete/move sentences around
. During revising, stories often become written all over. They were taught how to 'cut and paste' sentences and how to use numbers to add more details on another page.

Editing-'Stain Sticking' the story for punctuation, capitals, and spelling. Students used editing checklists, rubrics and peer edited as well.
5. Publishing-Rewriting our final masterpiece! They get fresh, clean paper and copy over their seed journal onto publishing paper.
Don't forget about the cover page! Students made a cover page that illustrated an important event in their story. What beautiful cover pages they were!
Congratulations again to all authors and illustrators!
