HOW I TEACH…WRITING BOXES FOR ELEMENTARY GRADES WITH FROSTY (EPISODE #38)

Nov 28, 2021 | How I Teach

Welcome to HIT—How I Teach….In this episode, I talk about a subject that is near
and dear to my heart—-making elementary writing (and learning in general) easier
for the littles!



Here is what you’ll learn in this episode:



*The importance of the “words lead to sentences; sentences lead to paragraphs;
paragraphs lead to reports, essays, and stories” approach to teaching writing
(as opposed to the “100 word” assignment



*How stories (and especially familiar ones) lead to a better outcome in teaching
students to outline and write from a given source



*How to pick content to use with the Writing Boxes process—-the importance of
focusing not just on “readability” level but also the “write-ability” level of
text for students to write from (including the need for simple sentences without
too much elaboration so that students can add the elaboration themselves)



*How the Writing Boxes bring in some boundaries that help students focus on one
sentence at a time when they aren’t ready for long paragraphs yet



*How amazed students are when they do the Writing Boxes for each sentence of a
paragraph then bring those sentences together to create a paragraph that is more
detailed than the source they wrote from!



*How much students love doing Writing Boxes



*Why Writing Boxes are the perfect first writing exercises for second and third
grade students!



*Oh…and how much full samples/Answer Keys for every single Writing Box sentence
so teachers don’t have to have a thesaurus or app open when helping students
with Writing Boxes





I really think you and your students will love Writing Boxes With Frosty! And I
know teachers will love this episode to learn more about teaching elementary
writing in a pain-free manner!

 

 Of course, just like every lesson in my one-month downloadable books and my
one-semester Meaningful Composition books, this one also has the invaluable
samples for students and teacher!

 

 (You will get a paragraph’s worth of Writing Boxes so you can use the Teacher’s
Notebook to teach your elementary kids!)



And for your convenience, How I Teach…. is available as a podcast (follow along
in your TN sheets for that week) and a YouTube video (with Power Point
containing the same as the TN)! 



Note: This lesson came from Write For A Month, Dumbo a month-long downloadable
book AND from the stand-alone Dumbo Writing Boxes lesson at my Teachers Pay
Teachers store!



Find everything you need here!
