Michigan Moment Narrative
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Students previously looked at maps of Michigan and discussed some of the cities and regions in our state. In reading, students began to read narratives, both fiction and nonfiction. For the entry event, students were asked to select an artifact that represented a special, small moment they experienced within the state of Michigan.

Students shared their artifacts and stories and plotted the setting from their stories on a map of Michigan. We realized our stories represented many regions in Michigan and could be used to describe many aspects of life as a Michigander. Students wanted to share these stories with others, so we began learning about narrative writing.

Typically, I use Google Slides for a mini-lesson, to allow students time to work on a specific, standard related task that will help build their Michigan small moment story, and then pull them together to share a few examples of student work. Students sometimes work alone, but often work with a partner or small group to brainstorm ideas, revise, and edit.

After, students will publish their ideas on Google Docs. When completed, they'll put their doc onto Google Sites or Google Slides and incorporate other media to enhance their story. Then, we'll print the story and create book covers using the iPad app Canva. We'll use both models to share with other classes within our school and hopefully with students from another country (I'm still working on finding an international school).

Reading Like a Writer: Revising Scenes from Peter Pan
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

In Unit 3, students revise a scene of Peter Pan and then prepare a presentation explaining how and why they revised that scene. They begin the unit by analyzing a model revised scene from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. They then select a scene to revise from Peter Pan, using the reasons they wouldn't recommend the text, generated in Unit 2, and determine why they want to revise their chosen scene. They then map out the original scene on a Narrative Planning graphic organizer and determine which parts of the scene can be revised without changing the outcome. Students then draft their revised scene before revising dialogue and description, possessives, word and phrase choice, and temporal words and phrases. For the mid-unit assessment, students revise a new scene from Peter Pan, following an already completed Narrative Planning graphic organizer.
In the second half of the unit, students prepare a presentation explaining how and why they chose to revise their scene. They prepare prompt cards for their presentation and practice the cards to present. Students also practice reading new excerpts of text aloud for fluency, in preparation for reading their revised scene aloud in the performance task presentation and in preparation for the end of unit assessment, during which they read a new text aloud for fluency. For the performance task, students perform their presentations for an audience.

Characteristics of memoirs:
-Use 1st person point of view
-Use true accounts of actual events
-Describe any conflicts faced by the author

Students will work on planning their memoir.
Day 2. Students will work on their memoirs, then share with partners.

Using Writing to Inform: Freaky Frog Text
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

In this unit, students apply what they have learned about the research process from Unit 2 to research and write an essay about a freaky frog of their choice as part of their performance task for this module. Students begin this unit by choosing a frog to study and reading informational texts to gather information about their frog and its unique adaptations. Students build on their learning about informational writing from Unit 2 to plan and draft an essay, discussing what makes an essay more complex than a paragraph.
For the mid-unit assessment, students will draft the second proof paragraph to their own essay. Then through mini lessons and peer critique, students will continue to draft, revise, and edit their writing. Finally, in the end of unit assessment, students incorporate teacher and peer feedback to revise their essays on demand. The unit ends with students compiling their writing from across the module to create the final performance task, a book about freaky frogs.
