We use a notebook for our writing lessons rather than only relying on worksheets. I want the kids to learn by doing and it’s been going very well! Our most used weekly writing assessments are below in case you’d like to try them out as well or could use a little inspiration. Most of the assessments can be done with or without using any number of the story dice, cards, roll and write worksheets and other racecourses I create. I frequently let the kiddo choose which to do that day. On occasion we have rolled dice to decide what lesson we’ll be doing that day or drawing a card from a basic deck of playing cards using only the number cards from one or more of the suits.
Writing assignment Ideas:
- Write a short story with or without using story dice/cards. Use at least 5 spelling words.
- Write 5 complete sentences using as many spelling words as possible.
- Write 6 complete sentences. Show someone talking in at least 2 sentences.
- Roll a die to see how many complete sentences you’ll be writing then use the story dice/cards to choose the subject matter of each sentence. Use at least 1 fact you know about each character/item you roll/draw per sentence.
- Write a short story about the character on your description worksheet. Using complete sentences with words you circled on your completed description worksheet.
- Team building stories. Grab a partner (friend, parent, sibling etc.) and your favorite story dice/cards, you’ll be writing a short story together! Take turns drawing/rolling and then adding a sentence to the story using what you have drawn/rolled. Make sure whatever you add flows with the previous sentences to ensure a well written, fun story! *For extra credit use as many spelling words as possible. Occasionally we let the kids do this one via video chat or even by messenger with family we don’t get to see face to face often. They roll/draw for the person of course and show them the choice then they give the sentence and the kids write in down for them. When the story is complete the kids read it to the person on video. Everyone involved loves it!
- Draw or roll to choose your character then use the Star Wars encyclopedia to look them up. Read about them and then write a short story or report using what you read.
