We are Authors!!

We had our first Author's Celebration today.  We worked so hard going through the Writing Process in order to publish our stories.  We had to celebrate!

Since the first day of school, we have been learning about what good writers do.  Here are some of the things we learned...

GOOD WRITERS...
-Choose ideas
-Plan the Beginning, Middle, and End of their stories
-Write the best they can
-Write a catchy lead
-Add details
-Use descriptive writing
-Add an ending that wraps up the story
-Revise their story by adding or deleting information
-Edit for Capitalization, Organization, Punctuation and Spelling (COPS)
