After wrapping up our mini unit on the 6 Traits of writing, students in 7M & 7F and I engaged in a hands on activity using play doh to model the writing process.
I know what your thinking... How does this have any relevance to writing & the 6 Traits?!?
Well, look below to see how this taught 7th grade some valuable lessons about how the writing process (pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publishing) correlate to the 6 traits!
Once the writing process was complete students shared their creations and what they learned about the activity!
This was an excellent lesson!! I know when I talk about the writing process from now on... My students will have this lesson to refer back too!
Very proud of my kiddos!
Now onto an Argumentative Unit & History Fair Projects!
Until Next Week,
