  • Erin (Pirnot) Ciccone, teacher-consultant with the Pennsylvania
    Writing and Literature Project    ,
    found a way to make more productive the "Monday morning gab fest"
    she used as a warm-up with her fifth grade students. She conceived of "Headline
    News." As students entered the classroom on Monday mornings, they wrote
    personal headlines about their weekends and posted them on the bulletin board.
    A headline might read "Fifth-Grader Stranded at Movie Theatre" or
    "Girl Takes on Responsibility as Mother's Helper."
    • This is a fantastic idea. Why not use what they did on the weekends to promote writing that matters to them. The headline styles would also lead to some comical responses, especially as you rise in grade leve. - on 2009-07-15
