Writing

Fourth graders will learn to write in a variety of styles.  It is my hope that they will love the process of creating images with words and look forward to coming to my class daily.  We will create a lot.  The next Stephen King or J.K Rowling might be in this class.  

Purposes for writing

Persuade - Opinion piece

Inform - Expository piece

Entertain - Personal Narrative piece

No matter what we write, however, it will need to have a main idea and supporting details.  This skill will be hammered.
