A Writer's Inspiration

What inspires you?  That was the question we asked ourselves when creating a collage of inspiration for writer's workshop.  Students created a collage of pictures and words to keep in their writing folders to use when thinking of a new topic for writing.  Our first writing genre that we are studying is personal narrative.  When we write personal narratives, we zoom in on a small moment in our lives.


Students enjoyed putting their collage together.  It was inspiring me to think of ideas for my stories too! 


Students will be able to use this collage along with other brainstorming lists we have created for personal narrative stories.  


Before we made our collages, we read The Best Story.  We learned that the best stories are stories that come from the heart.
