Explaining Space (am)

For the last week, students have been researching and writing about a topic related to space. Miss Farmer took them through the key components of explanatory writing and students were to use the anchor chart and the organizer to guide their writing. On Thursday, we peer edited each others' essays using Google docs and many students have submitted their good copies. For those students who have NOT completed their good copy, they must complete this over the weekend. All student writing will be printed (and submitted for grading) before school on Monday morning  On Monday, all students will be working on the publication phase of the project using the iPODs and an app called Sonic Pics. We will be using our writing to create a narrated picture story of our topic. The narrations are due by the end of the day on Tuesday.
