We Love to Write!

This school year Ms. Strum has been teaching us how to write a paragraph. As a class, we wrote a paragraph about the movie High School Musical from beginning to end. Ms. Strum taught us that the first step in writing a paragraph is Brainstorming. Ms. Strum taught us that a FLOW MAP is a great way to ORGANIZE our thoughts from beginning, middle, and end.

After Ms. Strum showed us how to make a flow map and organize our thoughts, Ms. Strum divided us into groups. We were given four different movie titles. As a group, we chose a movie to make a flow map on from beginning, middle, and end. Ms. Strum told us that flow maps are used to put main events in order from beginning to end.

Karlon, Jemarcus, and Ladarious M. are working hard on their flow map on

As the week continued, Ms. Strum showed us how to take the flow map and write a paragraph on the movie. Since the beginning of school, Ms. Strum has taught us that the 5 steps to the Writing Process are Brainstorming, Rough Draft, Revising, Editing, and Publishing. We are looking forward to all the Writing that we will do this year!
