Writing – RACES

We have been writing machines!  We  are working really hard to understand the various parts to include in our writing.  They have great input and it has been fun reading short essays together.  We continue to add what we’ve written as a class on our anchor charts into our Reader’s Notebooks so kids are able to use them as a reference.  RACES is our latest strategy and it is something that can be used throughout their schooling.  R - Restate the question.  A – Answer the question.  C – Cite text evidence.  E – Explain the evidence.  S – Summarize your information.
