3 weeks ago we were reading the story " Meet the Super Croc" and my team
and I decided to do an excite to write day with our students. We put
down the blinds to make the class dark, put on dinosaur sounds, and
projected pictures of dinosaurs on the board. The students then were
asked to close their eyes and pretend they went back to when dinosaurs
roamed the earth. We started with a brainstorm, where the kids wrote
down whatever came to their minds while hearing the sounds and looking
at the pictures. Later they put their brainstorm together by forming a
draft. Last they got started on their neat copy. The kids really enjoyed
this activity and they were all very engaged throughout the lesson.
