This week’s resource (Bowkett, 2010), on writing in the classroom, is divided into four sections: Getting Started, Building Narrative, Enriching the Story, and Story Grids. Each of these sections discusses different writing strategies to use in the classroom to help your students become successful writers. For each individual section, select one writing activity (a total of four when completed) that sounds like something you might use in your classroom. Your paper must:
- Describe the activity step-by-step in detail so that other readers/students would be able to follow along and use it.
- Evaluate the learning benefits for this activity.
- create some practical tips for use in the classroom you could give to other teachers using this activity
- draft a plan on taking this activity a step further in the classroom.
