Writing Every Day

Aligned to W.4.10 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.

What this lesson teaches

Writers grow by writing often, both quick pieces and longer ones. Some days you jot a short journal entry, and other days you build a full report over a week. Writing for many reasons and readers makes you a stronger writer over time.

Worked example

In one week a student might write a two-line thank-you note, a short answer in science, and a longer story for language arts — different lengths and purposes, all good practice.

Practice questions

  1. Name three different things you might write in a single week.
  2. Explain how writing a little every day can make you a better writer.
  3. Describe one short piece and one longer piece you could write about your weekend.

Escribir Todos los Días

Los escritores crecen escribiendo seguido, tanto textos rápidos como largos. Algunos días anotas una entrada corta en tu diario, y otros días construyes un reporte completo durante una semana. Escribir por muchas razones y para muchos lectores te hace un escritor más fuerte con el tiempo.

Ejemplo: En una semana un estudiante podría escribir una nota de agradecimiento de dos líneas, una respuesta corta en ciencia y un cuento más largo para lenguaje — distintas longitudes y propósitos, todos buena práctica.
