Writers are learning strategies so they can write real true stories!

Third graders are working hard at writing real, true stories.  Sometimes we have stories to tell, but when we don't we use strategies to get our ideas flowing!

Here are two of the strategies students can look to when they get stuck.


Students are writing long and strong - trying to write at least one page a day.  They are working to tell their story from beginning to end by making a movie in their mind of what happened first, next, and after that.  Third graders are also bringing their story to life using dialogue and description.
Here are some examples of long, strong writing from our notebooks today.
