I was on the ball the first time Mrs. Davis gave an assignment to the class. I am glad I get to have this experience again. This will help me learn new skills in writing good descriptive paragraphs and techniques to narrate stories better. I am very delighted that I get comments from friends, family, and from other people as well. What do we do in our weblog group you ask? Well first off, Mrs. Davis gives an assignment the week before. Then we come in and discuss what is on the agenda that day. Next we go to the computer lab and find an article. These are a few steps WE do to start writing:1 read your article.2 take a high-lighter and mark the important parts.3 Think about the article.4 tell someone what you are reading about.5 Think about descriptive words to make you writing interesting.6 be sure the who, what, when, where, and, why are included.7 make sure the lead of the article is catchy.8 write your article.9 think of a catchy title.10. read article outloud to yourself.11 proof article yourself.12 ask someone else to proof it.13 make corrections to make it better.14 reread it one more time! We do this for about an two hours.(8:30-10:30) I really hope students and teachers will get inspired and follow our footsteps from the beginning to the end!
Hi Jennifer! What a great post. You really hit the nail on the head. Why, you're really on the ball! I could just jump for joy. Don't worry, I'm NOT pulling your leg!
