A Good Writer Adds Details to Their Pictures

In our writing units, we learn "Good Writer" rules. We have learned a good writer starts at the left side of the page when writing. We also learned that a good writer must add details to their pictures. Morah began the lesson by drawing a picture of a plain face with eyes, nose and mouth. The more details added, the easier it was for the children to guess which student Morah was drawing. We then went back to our tables and made self portraits. When finished, we met back at the carpet to look at the drawings and based on the details, the children had to guess which friend it was from the class. These self portraits are now hanging on our Writer's Wall.
