My students just completed personal narratives, W.2.3. Many are struggling writers but really enjoyed creating illustrations for their work. They have learned that illustrations help a reader better understand a text. I want my students to become better writers and of course that takes practice. In creating a writing center I can motivate my students to write. In having various tools for illustrating pictures and different books to display their writing I hope to inspire them. The hardback books will be for research writing, the soft cover books for informative and explanatory writing, and the mini books for personal experiences. The sentence strips will assist non-independent writers in creating simple sentences by using prompts. The "create a a story center" will be great for independent writers to utilize when their assignments are complete. I will also have an Author's Chair for students to present their published books. Students will collaborate in various groupings to help each other in their writing.
