Students learn to use anecdotes in their autobiographies

In writer's workshop, we did a special lesson on using stories in our autobiographies.  We looked at different stages in the students' lives and what types of stories can be generated out of all those stages.  We modeled some of those in class and students began writing their own anecdotes to include in their autobiographies.  We also did some etymology with the word autobiography.

 

In science we played “I have…who has” over chapter 9. We will have a test tomorrow. We also wrote an acrostic using the “WATER CYCLE.”
