Description
Writing About Apples
This apple themed writing activity gives young writers a fall pack full of real reasons to write. Children learn how an apple grows from a tiny seed to a big red apple, and then they write about it. Along the way they practice putting events in order, using order words, comparing two fruits, writing a poem and telling a story of their own.
How to Use This Writing Pack
Start with the six life cycle picture cards: seeds, sprout, young tree, blossoms, green apple and apple. Children cut them out and put them in order, then write the steps on the First, Next, Then and Last page. Next they sort six facts on an apple and orange Venn diagram, write an APPLE acrostic poem, and finish with an apple story on themed writing paper with a box for a picture. The apple themed writing activity fits a writing center, a small group or a whole class, and it makes a fun 1st grade compare and contrast activity that also works well in 2nd grade. A 1st Grade practice worksheet asks children to number six sentences to show how an apple grows and to write one sentence of their own.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 6 apple life cycle picture cards

- Apple and Orange Venn diagram sort
- APPLE acrostic poem page

Why This Activity Helps Kids
