We've been working on newspaper skills in our reading class this week, and in our language arts class, we been working on writing the perfect sentence, the perfect paragraph, and the perfect story using the Simple 6 Method. We are also beginning our Veterans' Day project where students will interview a veteran and create a book about/for them.
The Read/Write Web offers excellent opportunities for the students to practice all the skills they are learning in reading and language arts. Creating blogs will give the students the power of a reporter plus the feedback for self-evaluation. Wow, what wonderful tools for our learning environments!
