The Good Parts
see more
I love the LOLcat above! I'm hoping to have some good parts during my writing talk to a group of twenty third and fourth graders today. I was supposed to do this a week ago, but school was canceled due to snow. I'm kind of glad because I remembered a kids' writing book I purchased, Show, Don't Tell, but never got around to using due to enrolling in K12's Language Arts. So I'm incorporating a lesson from that into the talk!
I'm going to talk about being a writer and the need for revising. A lot of kids don't understand why revising is necessary, my daughter included. I hope they begin to see that it really is important. Fingers crossed!
Have a nice Thursday!
