*Today was the last day of school before the Thanksgiving holiday.
*I wanted to find something fun for my students to write about and celebrate the holiday.
*This particular photograph fits the bill and then some. We got some great laughs when we first saw it!
*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 about these photographs.
