The Best Part of Me

Our inspiration for one of our writing projects

Learning to express yourself through writing has a process.
Before we began to write, we read the book that became our inspiration.
After a discussion about ideas we got into groups with like minded people.
To document our ideas in our group we completed a graphic organizer. It helped to organize and focus our writing.

Myla was organizing her thoughts on her hair while Owen decided to write about his feet

Our writing process continues, by thinking of 5 ideas to write about on our best part.

THEN, the writing begins........

Our first drafts led to the editing process which eventually became typed work. That is now bound in our class room as a book titled. The Best Part of Us.

The Grand Finale........The reading of the book.

Michael shares....

While our next readers showcase their illustrations.....

Myla  and Jana sit comfortably as they read to the audience.

Another successful day with our sharpened pencils, a blank sheet of paper, an open heart, and an expressive soul.......

Essential Question: How do writers express themselves?
