May Writing Ideas

1. Take a nature walk, write all the things you see and hear.  Use these words to write a poem.
2. Write about all your accomplishments this school year!  Make a scrapbook or portfolio of your best work.
3. Chirp, tweet, caw,  meow, and other sounds are made by animals.  Make a list of these words and use them to add interest to your writing.
4. Similes are comparisons using like and as.  For example:  I am as happy as a clam, or My kite is like a bird soaring through the sky.   Write similes about yourself and your interests.  
5. Think about your favorite book.  Write about things in the book that are like you and things that are different than you.
6. Begin a journal for spring and summer.  Write your thoughts and ideas.  Pick a shape book pattern and make a journal that fits you!
7. Spring is a time for baby animals.  Make a list of animals and write the baby animal name next to it.  For example: Sheep/lamb.
8. Think of a character in a book you have read.  Describe in detail what you think that character looks like.  Read the description to a friend and have them draw that person.
9. Write postcards to all the people that have helped you succeed this year. (Parents, friends, teachers, etc.)
10. Think of something new you would like to learn about.  Use research cards to help you investigate.
