What is shared writing

Let's Create a Shared Writing!

The first class brainstorms and writes the intro paragraph(s).  Then the next class reads the paragraph(s), brainstorms and decides how they want to continue the story.  This will continue until the last class on the list writes the ending and gives the story a title.  Classes can edit their section of the story on the Wiki.

Optional: If you are one of the first few classes, you could have your individual students continue the story on their own, so they can compare their stories to the finished products.

 You will need to create 3 colored pictures (on paper and take a photo or use a computer program) to illustrate events in the section that your class wrote. The three pictures will be placed into VoiceThread. Voice Thread allows you to add images and narration. It is housed on the web and allows visitors to leave comments about the content.
