Published Writing
The second graders are working very hard at following the steps of the writing process this year. They begin by writing down their ideas during journal time. Then they write a sloppy copy of their piece. Once they feel it is finished, they have two buddies read it and give feedback. Continuing with the revising process, they meet with Mrs. OVD to work on spelling patterns, learn some grammar and usage rules, add speaker tags or transitions, choose exciting words, and clarify their writing. Their final step is to rewrite the piece using the suggestions they have received. Since they are the authors, they have the final say in what gets changed.
Once the children have published their writing pieces, I publish them to our classroom Kindle Fire so that other students may read it, and I will also publish it here. Enjoy!
