Today we had a writing celebration to celebrate the awesome writing we have been doing in 4th grade! We are 3/4 of the way through our Realistic Fiction/Short Story unit. The 4th graders had the opportunity to write, rewrite, revise, edit and publish a short story. We worked through the process with various lessons to teach: idea generation, story arc, character development, setting, writing good leads, writing good endings, revising and rewriting, and editing. We published our best story so far. At the celebration we were able to collaborate with other members of our class, we decided what we did best at while writing, we read our stories to our table, and we gave each other compliments. We also shared juice and cookies! Next, we will use what we have learned to write the best short story we can, but this time quicker and with self direction. We cannot wait to compare our stories to see how we will improve!
