Ice Cream Stories

This might be my favorite writing activity we've done all year.  I got the idea from a popular pin I found on Pinterest of a melted ice cream cone which I posted about here. I have a formal lesson plan for this activity, which is on my TpT here.

I did a similar rubric to my scientific observation activity, where I had 4 pieces of writing that I had made and we ordered them from best to what needs the most work.  This helps put my expectations into something concrete that they can compare their work to. I made a chart with my objectives for the lesson and I also shared an old chart with them that we made about writing. This was such a fun, engaging, and creative lesson!
