American Revolution Writing

The writers in room 302 have been busy learning and writing about the events leading up to the American Revolution. We learned that writers have a vision of what they would like their final writing piece to look like before they begin writing.  We looked closely at the work another 4th grade writer did and asked ourselves what we would need to do to be ready to write like that. Most students have finished writing the draft of the first chapter of their American Revolution books which is an overview of the American Revolution. They will begin writing a chapter about their focus topic next.
