When I'm sick... creative writing

On Monday we started our week long journey with this writing activity.




(For my little sick guy, I copied Cara's Alliteration poster!)



First, we brainstormed a time that we have been sick. My students made a little bubble map in their journals to start their process. I love how this cutie made her bubble map into a sick person. The next day, we put all of our ideas together on the chart shown above!







Here's how our writing process went for the week:

Monday: Brainstormed with a bubble map

Tuesday: Charted our ideas and wrote 2 parts (What they were sick with, and how they felt)

Wednesday: Re-read what we had written so far, began writing the last two parts (What happened because they were sick, and how they got better)

Thursday: Finished rough drafts, began revising/editing

Friday: Finished final drafts and made little sick people when writing was completed!



Here's how ours turned out:
