The book was amazing and really inspired them to write. I think the graphic organizer was too much for second grade. I restructured it to fit the needs of the kids for next year. It was an amazing lesson. After we were done with our rough drafts, we went through our writing, I modeled with my rough draft and we took out worn out words, then went through a thesaurus together and found more interesting vibrant word choices. Then edited and made our final copies. Excellent lesson!
