Writers Workshop Session #10

Standards:
  • W6.3 - Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, relevant descriptive details, and a well structured sequence of events
  • W6.4 - Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience
  • W6.5 -With guidance and support from peers & adults develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, and trying a new approach.
    Publication Day:
    1. You must show me your handwritten copy of your narrative. Then...
    • Open a Microsoft word document
    • Begin by changing the font size to 14
    • Type your heading
    • Assignment = Personal Narrative
    • Skip a line after your heading and give your story a title. DO NOT center your title by using the space bar. I will show you all how to center the title later.
    • Skip a line after your title and begin typing the beginning of your story. Be sure to indent. To indent - Hit the 'tab' key
    • The only time you should use the 'return' key or the 'enter' key is at the end of a paragraph. If you are not at the end of a paragraph, just keep typing. They computer will automatically drop down to the next line when you run out of room.
    • It is expected that you will type with both hands, and you should try to use more than just your two index fingers. Typing is an essential skill that you need to develop. If you type with one hand or just your two index fingers you will never be able to become a fast typer.
    • Do not worry about spelling errors or typos. It will slow you down if you stop at each error. You can go back and fix those later.
    • Be sure to indent each new paragraph.
    • Use quotation marks whenever you use dialogue
    • Continue working until your entire narrative is typed. When you are done proofread your writing and fix any typos and spelling errors.
    1. If you finish you will print one copy of you narrative writing. 
    2. You will then have one last opportunity to evaluate your writing and get feedback before final publication.
    3. You will use the narrative writing checklist and the checklist in your ELA journal to make final improvements.
    4. Once it is ready for publication I want you to copy and paste your narrative to kidblog. Title your entry "My Personal Narrative"
    5. Last, work on your full color, detailed illustration

     



    RTI - B Day
    Main Idea & Details
    RI6.1 - Cite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.

    RI6.2 - Determine the central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions and judgements

    Whole Group:
    Read the article, "How Donald Duck and Peanuts Saved Trick-or-Treating"

    *As we read I want you to think about these questions:
    1. What is the Main (or central) Idea?
    2. What evidence makes me think that?

    Partner work:
    Step 1 - Get together with a partner 
    Step 2 - Reread through the article so you can figure out the main idea and the details. You may alternate paragraphs, or alternate sections as you read. Write small inferences and questions you have in the margin.
    Step 3 Underline the evidence from the text that supports your inference.
    Step 4 - Look at the inferences you wrote about each section. At the end of your article write a global inference, or MAIN IDEA based on all your smaller inferences you already wrote. 
    Step 5 - Complete the Quiz that goes with your article & Complete the Main Idea Graphic organizer. (Always write in complete sentences)

    *** I will come around to each group during the last 10 minutes and ask:
    1. What is the article about?
    2. What is an inference you made?
    3. What evidence led you to make that inference?
    4. What is the main idea?
