Once they have finished the graphic organizer, they can then continue the writing process and write out their essay. Included in this download is a writing prompt, 2 graphic organizers, choose which one works best for your needs. Then there are 4 different writing pages. 2 have titles already on them, 2 have a place where students can draw a little picture.

Avez-vous du mal à savoir par où commencer ? Où finir ? Avez-vous de la difficulté à enseigner de plus petits morceaux afin que vos élèves sachent ce qu'on attend d'eux, afin qu'ils puissent écrire efficacement et en toute confiance ? Cherchez vous des critères de réussite et des modèles - Avez-vous honnêtement du mal à faire la différence, vous-même, entre les différents genres que vos élèves sont censés produire ? C'est votre première année d'enseignement et vous aimez voir un modèle ou un exemple pour vous guider dans les années à venir ? Cherchez pas plus loin! J'ai fait le travail pour que vous puissiez enseigner avec confiance et pour que vos élèves performent avec confiance.

Mes études de genre vous donneront suffisamment de contenu enseignable, d'activités imprimables, d'invitations de discussion et d'opportunités d'écriture guidée pour écrire avec facilité et confiance. Chacun de mes ensembles de genres commence par un contenu enseignable et des mini-leçons et réflexions intégrées pour que vos élèves partagent, participent et collaborent avec leurs pairs.

Mes produits sont FAITS avec vos grands enfants et adolescents à l'esprit. Vous ne trouverez pas de dessins animés enfantins, de polices difficiles à lire et exagérées et vous ne trouverez pas de mots croisés et d'espace perdu. Je prends le temps de m'assurer que mes produits sont attrayants pour un groupe d'élèves plus âgés, mais toujours attrayants, engageants et à leur niveau. Ils sont créés pour les élèves de la 4e à la 8e année en milieu Immersion ou Français langue première.

Cette étude de genre fait partie d'un ensemble grandissant, que vous pouvez trouver ici.

Ce document contient tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour enseigner à vos élèves le conte de fée ET le conte de fée fracturé. Des organisateurs graphiques, des incitations de discussion et d'écriture, des activités, des critères de réussite et des instructions étape par étape afin qu'ils puissent travailler de manière autonome pendant que vous travaillez avec ceux qui ont le plus besoin de vous.

Voici ce que vous pouvez attendre de cette ressource de 50 pages sur les contes de fées:

• Les élèves découvrent les qualités d'un conte de fées en utilisant des titres et des livres qu'ils connaissent,
• Les élèves explorent les éléments et caractéristiques des contes de fées,
• Les élèves jouent un jeu dans lequel ils devinent le conte de fées à partir d'un symbole ou objet important,
• Les élèves exploreront la perspective et le point de vue en planifiant leur écriture d'un conte de fées fracturé!
• Les élèves analysent et s'entraînent à rédiger un conte de fées à l'aide d'organisateurs graphiques fournis,
• Les élèves ont la possibilité de s'entraîner avec 6 pièces d'écriture guidées qui se concentrent sur la fracturation de 6 contes de fées différents,
• 30 possibilités de 5 à 7 sont fournis (parfaits pour un suppléant!)
• Un jeu de dés "Mon conte de fées mélangé" dans lequel les élèves pratiquent à fracturer un conte de fées à l'aide de différents exemples de personnages, cadres et problèmes,
• Les élèves seront familiarisés avec la séquence des événements et l'intrigue d'un conte de fées, et auront accès à un exemple guidé en utilisant le texte de "Cendrillon."
• Les élèves créeront une affiche de leur conte de fées à l'aide d'un organisateur graphique,
• Les élèves seront familiers avec les attentes - une rubrique est incluse pour la pièce d'écriture finale, dans laquelle les élèves écrivent leur propre conte de fées fracturé.

Mes documents évoluent constamment et j'ajoute des activités, des imprimables et du matériel didactique dès que je les réalise pour mon propre usage. Mon groupe est à plusieurs niveaux et la plupart de mes élèves nécessitent des adaptations sous forme d'organisateurs graphiques. Par conséquent, mes documents reflètent une classe à plusieurs niveaux.

** Mes documents évoluent constamment et j'ajoute des activités, des imprimables et du matériel didactique dès que je les réalise pour mon propre usage. Mon groupe est à plusieurs niveaux et la plupart de mes élèves nécessitent des adaptations sous forme d'organisateurs graphiques. Par conséquent, mes documents reflètent une classe à plusieurs niveaux. **
