Default Re: writing activity

You do not mention what age group you are working with. How about choosing a sentence such as
-My favourite memory
- My best friend
-I love to_______
Brainstorm these choices with your class, writing key words for them to reference. Ask pointed questions such as

what describing words could you use,
how do you feel, happy, sad, excited etc.
discuss senses, smell, touch, colours etc.

Then you could give them the starting sentence and encourage them to write.

Is this of any help

Sorry for the lack of question marks in my writing but the question mark does not work on my keypad. its a nuisance.

All the best and happy writing
Pam
