Making our writing come to life

Adding detail to our writing

Today we thought of our writing as a little seed that burst into life when we add more detail.  We looked at this great site to help us think of ways to add more detail to little moments.

We think Joe ( who created this) is a pretty great writer who has shown us how we could make our writing into gold.  We will share our writing soon:)

Celebrating Great Character Writing

Welcome to the world of collaborative writing using Google Docs

It was the first introduction to what google docs allows us to do for some this week.  I was so impressed with how quickly the writers were able to record, share and learn from each other.  Well done.
