Picture Wednesday #15 (Hair Dryer)...

"Hair Dryer"


*This is our last week before our two week winter break.

*We have NO snow here in the Twin Cities which is so strange for Minnesota.

*I thought this would be a fun picture to use and have my students write about.  

*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.
