As we have been busy writing our responses to Bill Peet books, we learned the strong parts in every paragraph: A topic sentence, reasons, details/support from the story, and a concluding sentence. Below is a group work activity we did to capture each part before independently working.
Each group was given one part of a strong paragraph. In their groups, they were to create an example of what it would look like. For example, the 'topic sentence' group had to create a topic sentence...etc. Students need to be actively involved in writing lessons to ensure they fully understand. Plus, it is a great way for them to help and learn tools and skills from each other.
Excellent group work class!
