This week, we celebrated publishing our second personal narrative pieces by reading our books out loud to our classmates!
We worked very hard as authors during this writing unit, applying different techniques we learned to write true stories, zooming into small moments in our lives.
During this writing unit, we increased our confidence and identity as authors so that we can work through the writing process of planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing with growing independence.
Here are some of the techniques we were introduced to in the mini-lessons.
We considered these techniques when we set goals for ourselves to work towards with the support of the teacher and our writing partner.
One key learning intention for most of us was that our stories conveyed an idea or a lesson.
We also kept in mind the general structure of how stories tend to go as you can see in the photo above.
Here is a video for you to see our celebration in action!
We also have postings on Seesaw Blog of us reading our books aloud so families, please use the password to log in and listen!
