POW #3 and 4
For the next 2 weeks, you will be working on a free write. If you need ideas, we have joined a writeabout group. Go to this website: https://www.writeabout.com. Sign up as a student. Use the following class code to join our class: MW6332. There are various prompts there you can use. We will be using this more with our next read aloud book entitled Refugee. You can also use our Newsela account.
This week, you will need to organize your writing using a graphic organizer, or some other sort of planning document.
After you plan your document, submit this plan to Otus POW 3. If it is a hand-written organizer, please take a photo of it and submit the photo. This is due on Friday, September 28th.
If you are writing a narrative, and you believe it is best when you write without a graphic organizer, you will need to rewrite it using a different approach for POW 4. You will need to turn in the first copy on September 28th for suggestions on how to rewrite it.
For POW 4
Please write your piece. Your piece should be 2-3 paragraphs in length. Remember, you can write some of this during your workshops. This is due October 5th.

Choose from one of the following articles. Create a graphic organizer for the main idea of one of the following. You can create a chart or a map (examples are linked). Be sure to have the main idea on either the top of the chart, or in the center bubble of the map.
Be prepared to bring in your graphic organizer to your first workshop of the week of September 17th.
After you have your graphic organizer, you are probably good to write your paragraph from it. However, if it is still shaky, try one of the following organizers:
