Writing Workshop -- Immersion

This week in Writing Workshop we began the immersion process. The immersion phase is when students are given time to explore the type of text which they are going to be writing about. On Thursday students were given a large amount of time to explore small moments / personal narratives. As a class we read aloud When the Relatives Came and Knuffle Bunny and we discussed: "What Made This a Good Small Moment?" Students were then given time to explore texts and brainstorm with their turn and talk partner "What Makes a Good Small Moment?" Below is a photograph of the texts we are using during the immersion phase along with our anchor charts from our lessons this week.
