Would you rather? A FUN writing activity!

My class absolutely loved this writing activity. I randomly handed out my "Would you rather?" writing prompt sheets. Students loved being surprised on the topic which they were going to write about. First, I demoed the activity with my own writing prompt. I had to answer the question of- Would you rather fly or be invisible? I decided flying would be more thrilling :) Then, I demonstrated the writing process. They were not allowed to have any of the words misspelled which where originally found on their question card. I also required that each student was to write an explanation for their pick and this meant using the word "because." The finally project was adorable! I am going to hang them up on their lockers for the rest of school to see.

Word Work Ideas

Long Vowel/ Silent e Word Sort Activity Cards Print your own game flashcards- click on this TpT link! I'm Feeding the Monster: Word Work Activity- I used a baby puffs container to make the monster's body. With stickers, paper and marker I added the face details. The game cards have CVC and CCVC words. The object of the game is to feed the monster only words which use short vowel sounds. My students love making the munching sound when the monster eats a word. When they attempt to feed the monster a word with a long vowel they pretend to make the monster spit it out. Students seem to really enjoy this activity. Thank you Pinterest for this find!

Word Family Draw-Ins

Purchase it at my Teachers Notebook store : Word Family Draw-Ins I love this activity! Students identify words and create art at the same time. Sample page- Student will make any word circle into a frog face if it belongs to the -og word family. I encourage students to use the sample frog picture as a guideline. My first graders love to add extra details to their animal face pictures. I have seen a singing frog on this worksheet ;)
