*After last week's photograph that was a bit on the serious side, I decided to use something lighter for this Wednesday' photograph.
*I've used this picture in the past and always get wonderful writing from my students.
*It is so fun to discuss and see what they think is happening in the photo.
*Each Wednesday we write in our writer's notebooks about a particular image.
*They can record their thoughts, reactions, connections, likes/dislikes, reminders, noticings, or anything else they would like.
*Some of the writers choose to write a fiction story based on the picture.
*We write between five and ten minutes and then do a quick share at the end.
*The photos always lead to lots of conversation and the sharing of ideas. I try to get them to write first and then we can share what we wrote and what we were thinking.
*The writers are really enjoying writing about these photographs.
