In Class...

Today in class we were asked to make a concrete poem about what a writing workshop is and is not. Here's what we came up with!

The pencil is what writing workshop IS NOT and the rest is what it SHOULD BE

This a great book of concrete poems:


We also started to work on our own narratives.  What is a narrative, you might ask?

What does a narrative entail?

  • Characters
  • Dialogue
  • Plot/storyline
  • Descriptive language
  • Conflict (problem) and resolution
  •  Can be conversational or formal
  • Chronology/order
  • Attention to emotion
  • Setting
Maybe I'll let you in on the topic of my narrative later.  For now, it's still in the works!

A good narrative to read to your class or use for a focus lesson:
