Maryann said...: Hi Kim and Megan!
Thanks so much for the "freebies" for writing. The ideas are great. A couple of questions-do you do these "favorites" as a large group activity? and also, I had left some questions about "carpet bags" and the "word wall" with the word rings back on 9/15/2011 comment section. Would you have time to respond?
Also, I am having trouble reading the text on these pictures (purple color)on writing-maybe it is my computer system at my school.
Many thanks for the "extra" work you do and share with us! Have a good weekend!

Kim and Megan said...: Maryann, I just answered your questions from yesterday. About the post, I will pass the info on to Megan about the color choice. I think it is hard to read, too.

The favorites are done as mini lessons with the whole class. First, I brainstorm on the favorite people paper to show them how to do it. Then, they talk to their partner about their favorite people. The students then go off to write independently in their writing folders.

The next day, I reread my list and give them a recording sheet and they write theirs. These are both mini lessons and should last only 10 minutes. So, each of the "favorites" list can be 1 or 2 mini lessons depending on the speed of writers you have.; September 16, 2011 at 10:01 PM
