<\/a>Students will have opportunities to practice their creative writing. Our class inquiry into what makes a good story has lead us to learn about the elements of a story: character, plot (problem and solution), setting, characters, theme (or author’s message).\u00a0 Through the writing process, we have regularly edited and revised our work, considered writing for an audience, and included our voice. Anytime students write, they are asked: DYRIO? which means Did You Read It Over? Students are encouraged to review their writing by reading it over three times:<\/p>\n- \n
- First time is to make sure the writing makes sense. They read it like a reader with an objective eye.<\/li>\n
- Second time is to look for something to make the writing better – perhaps add an adjective or a detail like an example, a reason, or a thought\/feeling. They read it like a revision expert.<\/li>\n
- Third time is to look for complete sentences – capitals to begin sentences with proper ending punctuation. They read it like an editor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
