Today we worked our way through VOICE, PICTURES, and FLOW and discussed how our job as writers is to get our ideas onto paper and into our readers' mind - not an easy task. I shared my piece of writing I am Rebecca, the reader...and students began their own piece of writing using the same first sentence.
Using I am _______, the reader as your first sentence write about your journey as a reader. Incorporate RENNS and pay attention to Voice, Pictures, and Flow.
Students did not have a chance to finish, and work is in the classroom...we'll do more writing next day. See you then!
A short clip that reviews what we've been talking about and working on in class - worth a view.
