PRESENTATION OUTLINE
READ ALOUD: MENTOR TEXT
I HAVE ENJOYED USING THE INTERACTIVE READ-ALOUD RESOURCE
DAY 1
WRITERS BRAINSTORM THINGS THAT THEY ARE EXPERTS ABOUT
MODELING A CIRCLE MAP
MODELING CONSTANTLY IS SO IMPORTANT! IT GIVES WRITERS A CONNECTION TO YOU AND MAKES THEM
TINY TOPIC NOTEBOOKS
*DIFFERENT FROM WRITERS NOTEBOOKS
THE POWER OF A CIRCLE THINKING MAP
PICTURES AND WORDS
WRITER FEEL SAFER WHEN THEY CAN ADD WORDS AND PICTURES
- Plus, the circle map lends to "open" thought.......
- Remind them that the more information they can get into their circle map, the easier writing their story will be
- Walk around the room and comment on their interesting ideas or vivid word choice
- Allow writers to share their circle maps and help each other clarify thoughts and questions.
- Have fun with this day. It's highly likely that a new story idea will come up. Writers may want to plant those seeds too.
MINI LESSON#2
ORGANIZING THOUGHTS
DAY 2
USING THE CIRCLE MAP TO DESIGN A TREE MAP
KEEP THE TREE MAP PRETTY SIMPLE
SHOW/FIND CONNECTIONS WITHIN THE CIRCLE MAP
I begin having students use their writing folders at this point as a resource for spelling, punctuation, and sequencing.
Untitled Slide
THE TREE MAP HELPS WRITERS TO CATEGORIZE THEIR THOUGHTS
DIFFERENT COLOR HIGHLIGHTERS ARE HELPFUL WITH THIS TO SCAFFOLD.
MINI LESSON #3
SENTENCE FLUENCY
DAY2-3: THE FLOW MAP
YOUNG WRITERS BEGIN TO SEE THEIR STORIES COME TOGETHER.
FLOW MAPS WORK GREAT WITH POST-IT NOTES
IT MAKES IT EASY TO MOVE THOUGHTS AROUND.
MINI LESSON #4
CONVENTIONS~PUNCTUATION
THE FINAL MAP IS THE FLEE MAP..........
WRITERS NOW SIMPLY ADD DETAILS TO EACH OF THEIR FLOW BOXES
great website to locate some of these is
kidsreads.com, authors4kids.com, and
readingrockets.org, but there are author's sites too.
ONCE A WRITER IS CONFIDENT WITH THEIR FLEE MAP
ITS EASY TO LET THEM GO TO PUBLISH AND ILLUSTRATE
PUBLISHING VARIES IN MY ROOM
IT COULD BE A SMALL BOOK, A BIG BOOK, ON THE IPAD AS A DIGITAL STORY, ETC.....
TIME TO SHARE
AUTHORS CAN SIGN UP TO SHARE THEIR STORIES!
