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.

  1. 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.

  2. I 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! :)
