National Geographic Reach for Reading, Second Grade, Unit 1, Week 4 Writing Project. Students will write their own photo essay. This has slides for brainstorming topics, prewriting, revising and editing practice, etc.
The attachment is a SMART Notebook slide that should be used with the Scholastic Book "Snowmen at Night." After reading the text, students share what they would do as a snowman at night. They write this on an index card, then create a mosaic snowman that will be attached to the index card and hung around the classroom.
