Collaborative Project: Teaching Writing With Touchstone Books

Mrs. Nahal Grade 1
Bell Top School
Troy, New York

The wonderful illustrations, numerous and  humorous details and labels in Fanelli's "Map Book" were used to encourage the children to create a "Map of an Apple".  The first grade writer's enjoyed brainstorming a list of every possible connection they could think of then went to work labeling and adding details to their own "Apple Maps".  

STUDENT WORK

We will continue this writing lesson by using information from our Apple Maps to write personal experiences about apples.
