This week we are finishing up our Small Moments unit and the students will be selecting a piece to publish. Towards the end of the week, watch for other books coming home they are finished working on. Sometime next week, we will find another class to share our published books with!
Starting next week, we will be working on our Telling Good Stories unit. Students will continue their development of storytelling skills within this unit of study, allowing students the option to write true, somewhat true, or realistic fictional small moment personal narratives. In Kindergarten, students learn to sequence stories across the pages of a book, adding feelings and engaging readers with their beginning and end. We will expand this work in First grade by developing transitions with temporal words to signal event order. Students will also learn how strong verbs and adjectives are used to develop plot and character.
Essential Questions for this unit are:
How do people compose a good story?
How do people develop a story?
