Little Teachers and teaching elementary students the writing process : an honors thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This project focuses on helping elementary students develop an understanding for the writing process. There is an example of a children's book I have written along with the steps I took in writing the book that includes a presentation I delivered to two first grade classes. There is also a description of how I will use this book in an elementary classroom to help students discover the steps a writer must go through in order to produce an acceptable piece of writing. Finally, I have reflected on my experiences with this project and how it has helped me become a better writer.
