Writing Life Stories in Writer's Workshop!

This week, we have conducted an intense genre study of biographies. We've read a few biographies of famous people (Cesar Chavez, Ruby Bridges, Mae Jemison), but we thought it was time to write a few of our own! Students have worked very hard this week to select, interview, and write the biography of a person that is important to them. Here are some pictures from the week.

On Monday, March 8th, we have invited these special people to come in and listen during the author's chair sharing session. All are welcome to join! The biography reading starts at 8am and runs for 1 hour. Donuts, juice, and stories will be provided. See you there!
