The Writing Workshop: Focus

Based on the book, Chicken Soup With Rice by Maurice Syndak, this writing workshop was created for 3rd graders.

For the writing workshop...

1. Write about a certain food using a timeline, giving the exact date.

2. When everyone comes back to the carpet to share, you will post your photo to the wall for all to see, and we will conduct a museum walk

What did people focus on in their writing?

• holidays

• people they enjoy the food with

• details about the food

• foods they like rather than dislike

Focus on a certain aspect and expand on it...

Love,

Ms. Verner
