Self-Starter: ( Prewriting) Students picked up their notebooks from the B2 crates, and on page 9, respond to this prompt: If you could select another name, assuming you had to, what would you call yourself? Explain why.
If students had extra time, they looked through books about the origins of names.
Prewriting
We watched a video about names. and took a small quiz on the video.
We shared more examples of brief essays people have written about their names.
Drafting
Writers Workshop: Students revised (added to and improved) the pieces they are writing about their names. They drafted, revised, and edited in their notebooks, then wrote an improved draft on lined paper.
Professional Example: We read an excerpt from The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros in which she wrote about a name.
