Students in the Write

“Baking Corn, Dogs in the Yard, and Towering Apartments” by Group 6

Mrs. Bakala’s class has been learning about different communities in Social Studies. The distinct attributes of rural, suburban, and urban communities provide contrasting experiences for our senses and Mrs. Bakala’s students have used these differences to inspire poetry. In a collaborative effort, our students have merged their prose to illustrate these contrasts. Each recorded poem showcases several students.

Together they offer a feast for the senses; listen and enjoy them all by clicking here.

The students in Mrs. Bakala’s class have worked diligently during writing workshop to prepare a published piece to record for their podcasting experience and they did a fantastic job story telling. Afterwards, they used a reading strategy called “synthesis” to write summaries for their writing pieces. Special thanks to Mrs. Dal Ceredo for her help in making the writing prompts for our enticing summaries. Click here to enjoy these rich, informative, and sometimes frightening tales!
