|     Teaching Tip: Sharing Student Writing        When students share their writing, they begin to think of themselves    as authors    and it validates their thoughts.    Ways that students can share their writing include:    reading alound in class; submit their work to writing contests;    make a big book; read at a school assembly; read to foster grandparents;    dictate the writing onto a cassette tape or produce a video tape;    design a poster; make a hardbound book and display it in the school    library; contribute to a local newspaper; share in the form of a    puppet show and through class anthologies. Writing can be shared    with large audiences, small groups or one-on-one.    Need more ideas? Check out our Grade    Leveled Word Prompts     |
