Our class is working on eliminating ‘writer’s block & brain freeze’ when writing! We will be doing an ‘Extreme Writing’ challenge each day before Language Arts. The goal is to increase our writing confidence and fluency by getting as many words down onto our page as possible in 5 minutes!
Here was our prompt for today:
- Describe everything you see in this image. Infer what is going on.
- Write a ‘story’ about the man in the pumpkin boat. Where is he going? Why a pumpkin?
- Write a story about growing the world’s largest pumpkin. What would you do with it? Make a huge pumpkin pie? A Jack-o-Lantern? Sell it?
Our goal for next time is to increase the number of words we can write in 5 minutes, and to find something we are proud of in every piece of writing!
