Writing







 We will be using Kidspiration to help us create visual maps. This software is uploaded onto your laptops, look for the Kidspiration icon on your desktop to access it.

  We will be transferring our work from the Writing View in Kidspriation into a Google Document. From there you can add on to your writing piece and practice your typing skills as well. Click on the Google Docs icon below to access your Google account.

Once your first draft is complete, we will revise our work by looking for places in which you need to add more or to delete unwanted parts. Using Google Docs will make this process quick and easy. You can also share your work with a friend for help and suggestions as well.

 Once you are finished revising your work, you are ready to edit. We will share our work with a partner using the share feature. Your partner will edit your work and you will edit your partner's. Google Docs has tools such as check spelling and grammar to help you.  When you are finished editing, please share your document with me.

Congratulations! You are finally ready to publish. We will do this by creating a podcast using Garage Band. Click the Garage Band icon below. It will take you to //Our Podcasts// page.
