Writing....

We have been looking at uses we have for water.  The purpose of this writing being 'to inform'.



We use water to swim in.  I like to kick and splash.      By Katy


We use water to clean my hands. I like to take care of my hands.    By Elisa


We use water for washing our hands.  We have to clean them because they get dirty. 
 By Samantha


We use water for cleaning our hands and cleaning our clothes and getting clean ourselves.  After we have cleaned our clothes they go on the line and dry by flapping in the wind. By Hollie


We use water to make our plants grow.    By Ethan (Below Ethan watering his plants)

We use water to drink.  We need water to survive.  By William

Here William's picture plan shows an animal drinking water, someone keeping cool under a sprinkler and someone having a shower.  Great work William!

Here are some other stories that have really appealed to me this week.  I love to encourage a sense of audience in young writers.  Writing is not easy for beginning writers and because of this, to find enjoyment from it, they need to believe they are serving a purpose with there writing - whether that be to entertain, persuade, inform.   Great writing Room 9!!!
