Writing Activities: Ready For You To Try Out

Writing Activities: Ready For You To Try Out

Hi everyone,

You’ve made some really cool prompts and activities for your peers. Love the book selections as your mentor texts…such a great range of books and ideas. You can see where you’ve incorporated ideas from About the Authors too. Well done.

For today:

  • It’s now time to write the activity your partner designed for you by tonight. You’ll post your response/writing as a comment to their post. You can upload an image, just type in the comment box, link to a Google Doc or Storyjumper, add a slide to the end of their slide deck…whatever makes sense given the task they created for you to try. REMEMBER: you are also telling the “teacher” (your partner) how it turned out for you: what did you like about doing their assignment? Any challenges or things they might change, add, revise?
  • Later today or tomorrow (once your peer has tried out your activity), you can write a short reflection on how things went overall. Did the partner’s writing turn out like you imagined when you designed the activity? Again, post as a comment on your original post.

Our last Make (!) called Revise & Reflect is now live on the site. Link here too. You’ve done such lovely and creative work!

Look forward to seeing how the writing based on the activities works out!

Kim
