In this episode the 2nd grade students share the stories they wrote on the first day of school about their favorite food. I used this writing sample to get an idea of the writing skills that they possessed at the beginning of the school year. Before they read their stories we had a mini-lesson to create a chart titled "Presenting Checklist". I also modeled how to read in front of an audience.
Presenting Checklist
Sit up or stand up straight.
Look at the audience.
Speak slowly and clearly.
Speak loud enough so that everyone can hear you.
