Work It Wednesday

Writing can be a tricky subject. Some students easily come up with ideas, so they get excited when it's time to write. Others seem to sit there forever and get frustrated. To prevent any frustration, I like to give the students a picture (you can use any clipart from your computer or even a picture from a magazine.) They then have to write three sentences (exclamatory, interrogative, and declarative) all about their picture. Not once did I hear, “I don’t know what to write!”

Here's a sample for you to enjoy. Writing can be a piece of cake! :-)
