Inanimate Writing

Students were given the task to write from the point of view of river water, a paddle, canoe, rock found in the river bed, or piece of trash found on the river bank. They were expected to write with "voice"- to bring their object to life.

Our Territories Word Clouds

In Writer's Workshop students created a "Territories List". Our territories list is a place we can go when we are trying to figure out what we are going to write next. It's our ideas bank. The list helps us be more organized, productive and focused as a writer. It's a constant reminder of who we are and what we know and care about.
Students combined their list with a friend's and created a word cloud. You may view our word clouds below.
Enjoy our thoughts, special places, hobbies, interests, names of people we care about and love, and most of all... Maybe you will be inspired by our ideas, pick up a pen and write!
