Writing Project

Today we looked at what makes a story 'good'.
What kind of stories do we like to read?
What makes some stories interesting and others boring?
Why do we say "keep reading" sometimes?
How can a story be improved?

Tomorrow we are going to look at 3 stories and assess them using a rubric. Mrs. Fandrick will be helping us for 2 blocks every day this week. As part of our school's AISI (Alberta Initiative for School Improvements) project, we are involved in a GREAT project learning more about self reflection and individual assessments. This week our class is learning how to use a rubric to assess story writing pieces. If you are interested in learning more about this project, check the Black Gold website under the AISI tab.
