Research shows that there is a strong relationship between reading and writing. I will be trying to teach these two subjects in a more integrated fashion. We will be reading and writing daily with a focus on genre. We will start the year reading and writing our own memoirs. As the year progresses we will read and write short stories, fairy tales, folk tales, tall tales, biographies, articles, autobiographies, and hopefully we will get to poetry at the end of the year.
I will be starting with memoirs because we can read about our favorite authors, their ideas on writing, while understanding how important it is to write about things that are close to our hearts.
