Student Publishing Project!
Each year, I have my students write a story that we send away to Studentreasures Publishing to make into hard cover books. We also send a color illustration to a company called, Budsies, to have our characters turned into plush animals and people. To learn more about it, read here:

This is the dress I had students draw their characters on. Then I wore it to our publication party. :)

Teaching Students "How-to" Writing
|
I use an article I wrote for the August 2012 Highlights Magazine for
introducing "How-to" writing. My article describes the steps needed to teach your dog how to jump through a hula-hoop. You can guide students through the following exercise: 1. Have students think of something interesting they could teach others to do. (It can be something they already know how to do, such as how to do a cartwheel or you could have them research something they don't already know how to do.) 2. Have students pair up and orally describe how to do the task. Have the listening partner repeat back the steps for clarification. This will allow the first person to know if they were understood. Let the second person do the same. 3. Have students work independently on drafting the steps in their processes. 4. Have students pair up with a different partner to share their drafts. Check for clarification. 5. Students can then transition their steps into a narrative by including an introduction and conclusion. They can even turn the steps themselves into narrative form if they want to expand on them and have each become its own paragraph, depending on the age of the writer. 6. When students are finished, allow them to share their writing with a partner, small group, or the whole class. 7. Another alternative to writing a how-to is to do it demonstration-style through a video students create in class or at home to share. Common Core Standards for Writing and Speaking and Listening: W.1.2, W.1.5 - W.1.7, SL1.1 - SL 1.3, W.2.3, W.2.5, W.2.6, SL.2.1 - SL.2.3, W.3.2 - W.3.6, SL.3.1, SL.3.3, SL.3.4, W.4.2-W.4.6, SL.4.1 - SL.4.4, W.5.2 - W.5.6, SL.5.1 - SL.5.4 |
