The Writing Process


Stacy, a 4th grade teacher, in the West Hartford Cohort created this Animoto on the Writing Process as a way to introduce her elementary students to the writing process: "The Writing Process." 
The Animoto video is a helpful way to get discussion going about the research process. Once students view the video, a teacher can then lead them through a discussion of how what they watched will apply to their upcoming project. Look at the video, and then think of ways in which you can use Animoto to introduce an upcoming project in your class. Share your ideas by leaving a comment.

    That is a very nice, easygoing video for young children, I think giving them all the basic info they need without scaring them, which I believe is a concern with students when they bridge the gap from those early years (1-2 grade) to the more demanding years of 4-5 grade.
