I went to a workshop this year and it was a good way for my kiddos to use the model and enjoy writing. My homeroom class LOVED it! In every class, I chose fly, but each class had awesome ideas! My homeroom thought we would spin around and huge black feather wings would appear on our back. I that that was pretty awesome for kids who have rarely written a paragraph!DFrideleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817111776834367007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197714990989970131.post-58415848262583676852012-09-03T17:37:07.015-07:002012-09-03T17:37:07.015-07:00I love the idea you used with the Important Book. ...I love the idea you used with the Important Book. At the end of each year we create an Important Book about all the members in our classroom. The fifth graders go around and fill out what makes their peers special. We then put a copy of it in our time capsules! I love that book! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07503972123372846057noreply@blogger.com
