1. Students should tell a personal story.

2. Then, they will illustrate a detailed picture of one part of the story.

3. Once they are finished drawing, students are expected to write a sentence to match their drawing. When writing with your child, hold them accountable for spelling their sight words correctly. Otherwise, let them use their sounding out strategies to write the letter-sounds that they hear.

When writing one story over multiple pages, each page should have an illustration and a sentence that tells about one part of the story in order.

This is a workshop model, so students may work on the same story for multiple days. Students can use the checklist below once they feel a story is complete.

This Week's Writing Prompts:

• Monday: Why do Black Lives Matter?

• Tuesday: Draw and write the steps of making your bed. Use one page for each step, and you can use the "how to" book template linked below

• Wednesday: Draw and write about your favorite sport.

• Thursday: Draw and write about a time you felt challenged.

• Friday: Draw and write about your favorite game to play at recess.

*These are not assignments that are due to me. However, families can certainly send me photos of completed writing work or students can call and read me their stories!
