"Tree Camping"
*Years ago I team taught with a co-worker during our language arts blocks.
*That was the year we started our "Picture Wednesday".
*She sent me several links with multiple images in each link.
*This link was called "Things Not on My Bucket List". I thought it would lead to such great writing!
*Each Wednesday we write in our writer's notebooks about a particular image.
*They can record their thoughts, reactions, connections, likes/dislikes, reminders, noticings, or anything else they would like.
*Some of the writers choose to write a fiction story based on the picture.
*We write between five and ten minutes and then do a quick share at the end.
*The photos always lead to lots of conversation and the sharing of ideas. I try to get them to write first and then we can share what we wrote and what we were thinking.
*The writers are really enjoying writing and talking about these photographs.
