We have been working hard in our writers' notebooks this week to generate possibilities. We have shared stories to make personal connections, made lists and wrote about the history of our names and from an object.
Yesterday everyone picked one possibility and wrote about it for 10 minutes. We were really looking to build stamina. Can we write and think and write and think for ten minutes without the dreaded, "Ms. Daly, I am DONE"? We are never done as writers, however, we have to know what this feels like. We are working on knowing what it truly means to "never be done" as a writer. I have to say, the stamina in the room was quite impressive during this 10 minutes.
A lot of it has to do with writing about things that matter to us!
In reading we have been working on developing ideas about characters. We will keep rolling with this next week too!
Don't forget literacy night tonight from 5-7. Remember, you can come anytime between 5 and 7 without missing anything! Book fair will be open too!
