Students will be partaking in a creative writing workshop/lesson
Objective- Students will be able to understand the importance of the first two stages of writing (prewriting and drafting). Students will also be able to successfully do these first two stages.
• Introduction to the lesson
• Today we are going to be doing some creative writing.
• What is creative writing?
• Why do you think it is important for us to be able to write in this style?
• Make connections to prior experiences
• I brought a long some prompts that could help us with our pre-writing stage and a graphic organizer to help us out further (explain both if students need)
• (guide students through filling out their own organizer to model how and why it is important to connect prior experiences for the creative writing process)
• Activate prior knowledge
• Student will be asked to select a topic from either a prompt or one of their own. After they have done this they will fill out a graphic organizer to help activate their prior knowledge.
• During the lesson
• What the strategy/skill is and why it’s important
• The skills that are important for this lesson are the first two stages of the writing process, prewriting and drafting. Students will be learning a prewriting technique they can use in the future to help get their ideas on paper before writing. Also, students will be working on a draft of their creative story to help transfer their ideas from the organizer to a first copy of their own original work.
• How to use the strategy/skill
• Students will know that they can use the graphic organizing strategy before they write. They can use this as a way to outline their writing, and put ideas down in an organized way.
• Students will also learn that writing is a multi-step process by writing a draft. Students will later be able to rework their piece through the other stages of writing, until they have a completed work which is ready to “publish.”
• Closing summary
• Involve children in reflecting on the experience
• What is something we learned from this lesson?
• How can we use what we learned in the future?
• Is there something else you would like to know about these first two writing process?
• Making connections to prior experience or prepare for the future
• Now that we have learned the importance of creating a draft, and outlining our ideas we can use this method in our future writing. Instead of just writing down the first things that come to us, we can carefully outline our thoughts and ideas to help strengthen our writing and produce the best possible end product.
• Ongoing Assessment
• How will you know if the students are progressing toward your objective?
• I will be reviewing student’s drafts and graphic organizers to see if they are progressing toward my objective.
• What will you observe and/or take notes on to help you plan follow-up instruction?
• I will be observing how well students fill out their organizers, and how well they are able to transfer their outlined ideas onto their first copy of their draft.
