Reader's Workshop

This week we have been integrating the gingerbread man into our curriculum.  Our lesson today involved the gingerbread baby into our reader's workshop.  We are getting ready for Assessment 6 and mastering the standard of writing brief narratives.  This reader's workshop was all online which allowed it to be more interactive for my students.By creating a gingerbread person and taking them on an adventure.  When they write their story about the adventure it will force them to tell me a narrative based upon experiences that happened in a specific order and that describe the setting, characters, objects, and events in detail which is Standard 2.5.1.  I recorded myself reading Gingerbread Friends by Jan Brett and posted it to this blog.  Their job was to create a gingerbread friend, name it, and take it with them to somewhere they went throughout the day.  They needed to take a picture of it there and post the picture along with their adventure story online to my blog! This sounded like a lot of fun to me.. so I got the adventure started.
