"Sun Basketball"
*Many of my fourth graders are really into basketball right now.
*I've even had to bring some basketballs from home so there are more to share.
*While searching basketballs online, I came across these pictures and thought they were amazing.
*Normally I just pick one image for them to write about, but I couldn't narrow them down. So this week they are writing about all three pictures.

*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.
