March 18 - Writing Ideas

There are several types/styles of writing that Grade 1 students can do. Here are some examples.  I'm sure I missed some but I hope it will help with a focus at home. Make writing a daily activity. 
For Grade 1 you can review and practice these skills: 
- proper capitals and periods
- legibility, spaces between words, proper letter size, proper use of upper/lower case letters
- using a dictionary 
- child rereading their own work to detect any problems
- using their Lively Letter knowledge to sound out words
- drawing pictures (using details and color)
Personal Narrative:
- T.W.A.S (or T.W.A.H - This week at home - thanks Mrs. Slukynski!)
-Journal (daily thoughts or gratitude journal)


Imaginative Narrative 
- write any type of story (like picture prompts in previous email)


Research
- record information that you learn, via books or online reliable resources (such as National Geographic)
- use live cams (such as a live can on an animal at a zoo)


Write a list
- grocery list
- plan for day at home


Letter
- write letter to classmates/family/seniors homes/hospital workers etc./author online (like Jann Brett)
- email


Procedural Writing (first, second, third.... first, then, last)
- How to make a cake
- how to make a snowman


Poetry

Songs

 Interview Questions 

 Jokes

 Make your own workbooks (Write Math Story Problems)

 Write a Beginning of a story and have someone else in your family finish it

 Read several books (or watch online) and write up report on the best/worst ones
