Focus: creating a vocabulary display that could support students to use more descriptive words in their writing
Father's Day
Getting students to write something special for Dad is always a winner. Here are a few ideas:
For example:
Dad is/You are a wise owl with a never-ending supply of advice.
Dad is/You are spring, warming my back and nudging spring flowers open to face the world.
There are publishing ideas at the back of The Writing Book. The Shelf Diorama (page 210) would make a lovely gift. Click on the attached link for more Father's Day writing ideas.
