Writing - beginning, middle, end

We have started a new writing unit : Telling Good Stories - beginning, middle, and end. To begin, we are studying how authors write using a well developed beginning, middle, and end. Students are practicing identifying the parts as well as retelling. Yesterday they worked with partners to complete a graphic organizer and today students worked individually to fill out a beginning, middle, and end chart  as we read a story. We learn how to become better writers by studying what real authors do! During this unit students will learn the importance of sequence and many details. We also continue to work on grade level grammar and conventions.
