Writing

Students practice generating ideas and creative writing skills with weekly Quick Writes and Scribble Stories.  For a Quick Write, students are given 15 minutes to write a story based on a photo from the Winnipeg Free Press.  For a Scribble Story, students draw and colour a picture, beginning with a scribble, and then, they write a story about their picture.

To help understand what makes good writing, students can look at student models of writing on the following website:
