Listen to your Mummy . . . . .

Expository Writing Graphic Organizers!

Students worked together in groups to jot down important main ideas in text using this web.

Students took the information from their webs and placed it into a Four Square. These graphic organizers allowed students to create a layout of what their essay would look like, main ideas and details that would be discussed, elaboration, transitions, text evidence, and an introduction and conclusion to their writing. Students used these Four Squares to produce their final essays! GREAT job 6th grade!

Fall Poems!!

The students spent time writing and illustrating poems about fall! They did a wonderful job using vivid language and adjectives to describe some of their favorite things about the season!
