Publishing Party

For writing we have units of study. We learn all different types of writing styles. Part of the process is publishing our work. We wanted to show all the hard work off to our friends, so we had a "Publishing Party". Now when I first said party the students asked if we were having cake, ice cream, and pop. I said it wouldn't be that elaborate. Though we didn't have all the treats we brought all the fun. Here are some pictures from that party. One of the expectations that students were required to do was to comment, using sticky notes, on at least 3 friends writing (they had to pick 2 of the opposite gender because we all know that at this age they the other gender still has cooties :))

We had so much fun sharing our writing and then posting it on the wall to be read at different times throughout the coming weeks. And we learned that Publishing Parties do not need to be elaborate, they can be as simple as pie.
