Poem
The Jellybean Brigade
They came to town, they came to town,
the Jellybean Brigade.
They marched about in a bright array,
a rainbow on a parade.
They swaggered in the broiling sun,
instead of in the shade.
They're nothing but a puddle now-
the Jellybean Brigade.

I could use poetry in the classroom to introduce and activity. Whether it be writing or possible a math or social studies lesson. This particular poem I thought about using it for possible a math lesson. It talks about jellybeans and they are different colors, so the students would sort them according to color. Or they could practiced their adding and subtracting skills with the jellybeans. Reading this poem to them would get them excited about the lesson and a way of introducing the lesson.

narrative writing

Narrative writing is very important in the development of a child's writing skills. It helps the children bring out their imagination and their creative skills. It also helps a child feel confident in their writing abilities.
Narrative writing tells a story about a certain event that may have happened in the child's life. It also shows a sequence of events over time and portrays a clear beginning, middle and end to it. Most children forget to write an end to the story. The middle part has to have vivid details making the story real and creating an image in the reader's head. When writing a narrative story, it has to have an audience other than the writer. Most importantly it has to have a hook in order to make someone interested in reading it.
I really enjoyed the writing workshop we did. It helped me in writing my expository story and gave me great ideas in making better. A writing workshop consists of a group of people, preferably 4. One person then reads their story while the others listen carefully to the paper. After the person is done reading their paper, the members will comment on the paper giving suggestions and feedback to the writer. A way of commenting would be the Sandwich Theory, which is the member of the group tells the writer what they like about story, then asks a question or make a suggestion for or about the paper, finally the member makes a positive comment on the paper. During this workshop, there is no need for editing at the moment.
Narrative writing is probably the most hardest for me, because I have to be creative, which I am not. But doing the writing workshop seems to me that will make it easier for me to write it, because I can get feedback from my peers.
