Creative Writing Crayons
|
|
These crayons are to use with your creative writing. When you walk around and read your students writing, choose one crayon to remind them to look over more carefully. I made some small crayons and some larger ones. Print each group of crayons out on colored card stock and laminate them.
While you are walking around give each student a crayon, pull the color groups aside to go over what they need extra work on-spelling, punctuation, capitalization, or word choice. This becomes a guided writing group. You can work with one group while the other groups are writing. (I think I made six of each card.) Try to give them a different card each time you do this. You may only have time for one group if you do creative writing for 30 minutes. In a week you can meet with them all.
If you want to collect the crayons, have them make a smiley face on their paper with a crayon the same color so you'll know which group they were in the next day.
I went to a creative writing workshop one time and the speaker said that if you write on your students paper, it becomes yours too. So I ask questions instead of writing on their paper. Sometimes I have them change papers and another student will underline something they think needs to be changed, but they don't write on it either. Just something to think about!
I made extra crayons so you could use them for other things too. You can change the words on all the crayons. Joanne
