Audrey Wood
Audrey Wood has an amazing variety of children's books. You will find it very easy to use a variety of craft in her books to teach the Six Traits of Writing. Below is a picture of just a few of her books.
After reading several of Audrey Wood’s books we made a
graphic organizer noticing all of the similar traits we found in each of the
books. This was a great visual to
capture the characteristics of the books we read and formulate a great
conversation based on what we noticed.
It was also a good time to teach and review concepts such as
alliteration, rhyme, onomatopoeia, and more.
After reading all of her books I the students were then asked to think
of which four stories they would most like to write like. After we had the top four stories I created a
choice-board for the class. They were
then able to choose which activity they wanted to create. The choice-board then served as a checklist of
the skills they needed to include. Below is a picture of the graphic organizer
we created along with the reproducible of the choice-board.
