Assignment 3
In our second grade writer's workshop, I thought I would try to do what Jeff Anderson advocated- use a good model, study that model and then emulating it. I'd like my students to try some different story formats. The two books that I would have students look at are The Cake that Mack Ate and Grandpa's New Shoes. The students will I'm sure notice that each of the lines are repeated before a new subject line is added. These are fun stories and I bet the students will be successful in following these models and will enjoy the repetitive stories they create.

I teach seniors and using model study is great for all grade levels. I'm going to look for some updated models for my classes.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea, but I feel a huge lack of book knowledge and resources. This has challenged me to study the literature and build up my repertoire! :)
