On September 9, I assigned our first Wacky Writing Project for the year. Students were given an opportunity to choose 5 words and were asked to define each word and figure out it's part of speech. Students then were to complete a rough draft of their story including those 5 words in their writing. Once a game plan is established, they use the manilla paper to present their final draft. Students always love this assignment and I always enjoy reading their fun stories! This project is due on September 30. Students have a total of 3 weeks to get this accomplished. If the student turns in their project prior to the due date, they can potentially earn up to 20 points extra credit. I greatly encourage parents to work on this with your student. This is a great way to help them with school and show them creative ways to write.
Below is a picture of some of the words they had to choose from.
