*Today I decided to use something with a powerful punch.
*As I've mentioned in previous posts, ,I try to vary the photographs I use on Wednesdays.
*This particular photo I knew would lead to lots of classroom conversation.
*As soon as I presented the picture, the writers started talking. I tried to hold them off a bit and get them to write first and then do some discussing as a group.
*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.
