The second graders are learning to write an autobiography in our new writer's workshop unit. We are focusing on writing a good paragraph with indenting, a topic sentence, supporting details and a conclusion. We have completed our first page on "family" and so far we are off to a great start! Next week, we will work on a page all about our school. When writing at home here are some things you can reinforce:
*Indent when starting a new paragraph
*Start with a topic sentence
*Make sure the sentences following the topic sentence support your topic (stay on topic)
*End with a conclusion that "wraps it all up"
