Second grade students were very excited to share their realistic fiction stories with their guests at our last writing celebration of the year. As guests gathered in classrooms, teachers shared background information about the writing process, including creating realistic fiction characters, brainstorming problems and solutions, planning five parts of a story on a story mountain, and drafting. Teachers also shared three types of goals throughout the unit: content goals, revision and editing goals, and publication goals. Students were proud to use technology tools to share the digital stories they published with their guests. Afterward, what fun it was to enjoy pizza and ice cream treats at our picnic! It has been wonderful to notice the growth our second grader writers have shown over the course of the year.
