We finished our Presidents' Day Projects last week. We run out of time in Feb to get all of our social studies units done because of Parent Conference Week and Presidents' Day Break.
Students learned how to take a nonfiction book and use an organizational web to summarize the facts. This is done together as a class. This is also the prewrite portion of our biography reports for report writing.
After the organizational web is completed, we work in pairs to write our drafts. Then we use the ARMS and CUPS methods for revising and editing:
Revising
Add
Remove
Move
Substitute
Editing
Capitalize
Order
Punctuation
Spelling
Next, we write our published version on the publishing paper.
Finally, we complete our craftivity and viola!
