During class on Tuesday, I introduced the class blog that I created on the SmartBoard. It was discussed that whoever reads aloud/shares a piece of writing/presents is in charge of writing on the blog for that day describing the events that occured during class.
Today I did my read aloud; the books that I shared with the class were The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein and Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I chose The Giving Tree because it a good book to share with children about not being selfish and doing things for others. Where the Wild Things Are is a great book to spark imagination within the classroom!
After I presented my books, we broke up into our 6 writing groups. We were assigned a chapter to "graffitti" the important topics mentioned within our specfic chapter. The groups with chapters 2, 3 and 6 presented their ideas to the class. The other groups will present on Thursday.
Finally, our homework for Thursday is to write a paragraph about 1 or 2 events from our "Writing Timeline" that will be included in our autobiography. We are you bring our paragraphs to class on Thursday to share.
