Whole Group Writing - Opinion

Whole Group Writing - Opinion

I had a great time with my kids beginning our journey with the writing process.  I used my writing prompt "What Flavor Would You Be?" with some modifications.  I wasn't happy that I couldn't use the Adobe file directly on the Smartboard, but that didn't stop me.  I captured the image with the camera icon and moved it to create a file on the Smartboard.  I did change the topic for my prewrite, My Ultimate Bowl....  The kids could identify with my favorite bowl of ice cream and we talked about changing the topic to something more specific so we wouldn't write about the same thing.  I emphasized the importance of just getting ideas on the screen.  It worked out wonderfully.  I purposefully misspelled some words and just wrote phrases to show the kids the importance of just getting the ideas ready for writing.   It worked!

 I have decided to create a full size display of our group writing for a reference when we continue to write with the opinion genre.

 

Pictured below is our prewrite:
