Musical Computers are a Third Grade Favorite!
The Third Grade had fun while they practiced lots of skills.
They were all given a story starter prompt, "When something visited The WIlson School..." They discussed topic sentences, closing sentences.
Then they were told to use their computers to create a document, add a picture and start their story.
Next, each child moved one computer to the right, read the topic sentence, and added their own sentence to the emerging story. This continued until the child reached his original computer and got to add his closing sentence to close out his story.
They couldn't wait to see what was happening in their stories while they were writing in each others' stories. And they got to practice their typing, and formatting as well!
