black friday giveaway!

Hello friends! Happy Black Friday! I am not a fan of waking up in the middle of the night to go shopping, and honestly, it really bothers me that stores are opening up on Thanksgiving to make money. Can't we just have one whole day for family and friends?

I'm here because I'd like to give away a few copies of my new product on TpT! My most recent product on TpT are my Writing Process Posters. I love teaching the wring process to kids and have great ideas to share with you in this product!




So what you get in this product are the posters above for each of the six stages of writing: rehearsal, writing, receive the piece, revision, editing, and publishing. I've also included one page for each of the six stages that explains the stage and gives some suggestions for teaching it.


For example, on the sheet that goes with Rehearsal, I give a few tips for teaching at this stage: writing from literature, heart mapping, writing from a list, and the neighborhood map. Let me share even a bit more on writing from literature...


This is the easiest strategy to get kids to write "seeds" in their writer's notebooks. You read a picture book to students and then have them write from ideas that were built on that story. One book I always use is Fireflies by Brinkloe. I begin my workshop each year with this book - a book about the summertime tradition of catching fireflies. After I read the story to kids, I ask them, "So who catches fireflies in the summer? What other summer activities do you do?" We create a shared list, and then kids can write about any of the ideas from the list (or any other idea they would like to, as long as everyone writes in the genre assigned).




Some other books I use when doing memoir rehearsal with students:


Julius the Baby of the World - Students share stories of their siblings after hearing this story.




Amos and Boris - and stories of friendship with this one!




The Relatives Came - Students share stories of extended family after this story.




Courage - Times of great courage will be written about after this one



Owl Moon - and stories of special traditions will come from Owl Moon


If you're interested in any of these activities to teach the Writing Process, jump in my giveaway - I will select three winners to receive a copy of this product! To enter, you simply need follow me on Facebook - find all those details in the Rafflecopter!

That's all for me today! Enjoy your time off with family and friends!

  4. Most businesses now have their own websites. However, many of them simply have one for the sake of it. This means that chances are that a visitor will not spend much time on it if the website design isn’t up to modern standards.

  13. Things can be almost positively different when we do the right thing at the right time. Sometimes, both, as a patient and a doctor, apart from going through on with their lives they regret about things which happened in the past, likely to be surgery or evading early diagnosis. Online healthcare providers can minimize such possibility to some extent as they deliver convenient consultation services, often save lives in identifying the serious health issue before it gets too late.
