Ask your child and they'll be able to tell you!
Writing an organized piece is a lot like putting together a hamburger. The bun holds everything together and the "fix-ins" are the details. We put this idea to work the past few weeks working on both narrative and expository (informational) writing.
Not only did we work on the basic structure, we also talked about how important it is to make each part the best it can be - juice, delicious and filled with either feelings, actions, dialogue (narrative writing) or important details and added information (informational writing).
And what better way to help us remember the parts of the hamburger as we work, but with a little help from SpongeBob!
That's right, Krabby Patties to the rescue! As students worked independently on their own paragraphs about bats, they each had a Krabby Patty nearby to keep them focused on each part.
As they wrote each part, they got to eat that part of the Patty!
Coming up next week, we'll begin applying this idea to opinion writing.. stay tuned!
For my teacher friends - This idea comes from the wonderful Hope King at Elementary Shenanigans. Click HERE to see more about it.
