Building Writers: I don't have to retype it all?




"How do I make an exclamation mark?"  Excellent question!  First grade learned how to manipulate MS Word to help in the editing process of their writing. The students explored the keyboard and learned how to make capital letters, question marks, and exclamation marks in an authentic writing situation. They were delighted when they discovered that they could save their work so they could edit it later. We worked on re-reading our stories and going back in and adding words to make sure the sentences made sense.  The students synergized and showed their neighbor each new amazing discovery they made.  Congratulations first grade on becoming better writers.
