Whew, what a process this is! It is extremely time consuming, a bit overwhelming at times, and so much FUN! It's so much fun that once I'm certain everyone in my family is fast asleep, I sneak out of my bed to hit the computer for more ideas. It's too bad I don't drink coffee, because I could probably use some right about now.
While I'm on the topic of processes, I thought about the writing process. I love that my school still teaches traditional grammar, but I want to put some more life into the writing portion of our Language curriculum.
I figured I should start at the beginning and whip up some writing process posters that are based on our curriculum. I had some store bought ones but they didn't match the curriculum. Boy was that confusing!
Click here to get a copy! They need to be printed on ledger sized paper which is 11x17. I know that's a pain, but I wanted them to be bigger than a regular sheet of paper.
I also want to take a minute to pass on the One Lovely Blog Award.
Here are the rules for this award:
Once you receive the award, you must follow 3 rules:
1. Follow the person that gave you the award
2. Link back to the person that gave you the award
3. Pass the award on to 15 new bloggers
Now, I had a hard time finding 15 new/newish blogs that hadn't already received this award, but I found a few. I'll keep looking!
Here goes:
Love the writing posters. Thanks for the Freebie!
ReplyDeleteYour motto is flat out fantastic. I love that you are puttin' it all out there and taking BIG chances in the classroom. It's what teaching should be all about :) As you stated, our best moments come from those special unscripted and oh-so unplanned moments. So glad I found you today ...
