    Workshop Wednesday: Wintry Figurative Language

    Wahoo! Workshop Wednesday Weturns!!! (Ha! Couldn’t help it. I felt a little like Wodney Wat, too!)

    Today, we are sharing about the fun seasonal writing ideas we are using in our Writer’s Workshop!

    Yesterday, I shared about how I got my kids started with writing sentences using wintry figurative language. Well, I found this adorable figurative language snow globe craftivity from Runde’s Room during the last big TPT sale, and thought it would be PERFECT to go with our snow globe writing piece we do! I tweaked her directions a bit and had my students write a sentence with each type of figurative language next to where it said the name (her directions say to define those and write the sentence on the snow inside the snow globe) and then draw the picture literally instead of figuratively. They turned out SUPER cute! Here are just a few examples:

    The students will leave them on their desk so they can use these great sentences in their writing piece! I will be doing the same activity I did last year at this time- students will write about being in a snow globe! You can check out the details in this post from last year – and we will be making snow globes again this year!

    Here were last year’s:

    I took each student’s picture. They cut themselves out and decorated their wintry scene on construction paper. Then, we put big glitter flakes on their paper and I hot-glued a clear plastic salad plate on top. Here’s one up close:

    She was banging on the glass trying to get out. :o)

    To get my kids ready, I not only played the Pixar short (see the post from last year in the link above), but we also read the book, The Snow Globe Family.

    This is another great book for figurative language and sensory details, as well as an adorably sweet story! The family inside the globe is wishing that the family outside of the globe would shake them to give them a blizzard and a hill so they can go sledding! This was a great book to talk about possibilities of how you’d feel if you were in a snow globe. Maybe you WANT to be in there, but maybe you don’t! Maybe you really hate it when people shake up your house, unlike the family in the book!

    Here is a fun freebie from my BBB Diane to help you with these crafts, too!

    Of course, I’ll share our finished products when they’re done! :o) So what kinds of fun things are you doing in your room during writing?

    Join me live again TONIGHT, November 13, at 8 PM EST, where I'll explain and demonstrate EVERYTHING about day four. This one is all about application!

    The focus of the day’s routine is to write a sentence similar to the original, keeping the style and structure the same, and especially to use the focus skill (adjectives).

    Let's talk DAY TWO!

    We will be talking about why the discussion around how words function matters, and why it shouldn't just be "all about the labels." We'll also talk about how to incorporate the focus skill (using adjectives) into the students' writing.
