We have finished the research process of learning about caribou and taking notes to help us track our knowledge. This week the kids worked on taking their research notes and turning them into complete sentences to create a non-fiction writing piece on caribou. I modeled this process for them and have been conferring with kids while they are writing. When they are finished writing their non-fiction piece they are meeting with their writing partner to revise and edit their work. Lastly, they are reading aloud their piece next week to either an adult in our school, another student in our school not in our class or to a whole class through video chat. The kids picked what type of sharing environment they were comfortable with and I am organizing all their "appointments" to teach others about caribou.
