Ouch News

We started a new writing project yesterday based on Nellie Edge's news reporter templates.  Our first one was called "Ouch News" where the kids wrote about a time they got hurt.  They were really enthusiastic about the project and did an amazing job writing independent sentences.  I was really proud of their phonetic spelling and sentence structures they came up with on their own.  After they finish their writing, they will get to record a reporter news broadcast style video telling their story.  I will edit it with music and headings to look like the news! We will add a QR code to the back of the story so when I assemble it into a class book, they will scan the QR code right to the news video.  I am SO EXCITED about this project.  I'll share the videos and class book when we finish.  Next up will be friend news and family news.

Here is the template that we used.
