This shows me that I sometimes really like what I do with my students!

Writing

Although I love the idea of using Social Studies to do writing, I felt that I wasn't at a point in my classroom to use what we had first thought of.  I did like Brenda's writing prompt she came up with and will use it in the future with my class.  I did find some primary sources and a few "Who Am I" activities to help get the students acquainted with Ben Franklin.  That will help with the writing.
