PRE-WRITE:
I
printed the emojis
on yellow paper and glued them each to a white poster. I had the students walk
around and write different emotions that each of the emojis
were showing.
Here's an example:
THEN
WE TALKED:
Then
we gathered the posters and talked about each emotion and how they relate to
how we are feeling about leaving this grade-level and entering a new one.
THEY
PICKED THE EMOJI:
They
then picked the emoji that most strongly represented how they felt. I went
through each poster and they raised their hand to tell me if they wanted that
one. If so, I put a tally of how many copies to make of that emoji on the back
of its poster.
WRITING:
They
then began to write using the circled writing paper. When they were finished,
they brought up their writing paper and picked up their emoji cover. I stapled
the two at the top of the circle and they cut both out at the same time. This
way, it remained stapled.
