Grade One Authors

The Grade One's have been working on a story writing project. 

Step 1

We brainstormed setting ideas then each student chose the setting they would like to create. Students got into small groups to draw and paint their setting.

Step 2

Each student chose 1 or 2 characters that made sense for their setting. They created a character puppet to show their character.

Step 3

We talked about how stories tell about a problem and then how the problem is solved. Students made a story plan using a graphic organizer to tell the beginning, problem, solution and ending of their story.

Step 4

We started writing! Students used a “First, Next, Then, Last” model to write their stories. They used words and pictures to tell their story.

Step 5

Students published their stories. They created a title and displayed their work for parents to see at student-led conferences!

This was the grade one’s first time writing a story and they did such a great job! They should be so proud!
