A Hallway Exhibit of Our Students’ Lives
Take a stroll down the hall of The 4-Corners Team, and you will find hanging 87 beautiful essays that the students wrote about themselves. Remember those three items that students brought to class in a paper bag that represented them in some way? Our students have been working diligently for several weeks on an elaborated and detailed five paragraph essay that depicts their lives. First, students shared their three items with the class, so we could get to know each other better. They told us why these items are important to them and what each represented. Then they got to work crafting their essays, spending weeks revising, editing, and finally publishing. Just today, they added their final touch by illustrating their head and body and attaching the head to the top of their writing and the body to the bottom of their writing. They composed truly interesting and engaging essays. See what I mean by the following few examples. Please leave us a comment and give us your feedback. Students write for an audience, and you are part of their audience!
