What do you think about a writing project….for example, my students made fall tress (tear art) and then had to write sentences about their tree. I gave students a certain number of sentences to write about their tree and we edited their sentences before they rewrote them in their best handwriting and we hung them in the hallway. Now, that activity teaches part of the writing process but it isn’t really a narrative writing but is there still a benefit to doing these projects? It allows students to be creative, learn about editing, and continue to feel like writers. It allowed publishing in a controlled way that is easy to present and hang in the hallway for everyone to see…so what’s important about writing? Publishing? The process? Being creative? Here’s a picture or two what we’ve been working on.
