About this resource
Description
Let’s Publish My Writing Activity gives children a reason to sit down at the computer and finish a real piece of writing. Publishing is the last step of the writing process, and it is where young writers share their work with readers. Typing a whole page also builds keyboard skills that children need for school projects and online tests.
How to Use This Activity
Print and cut apart the 24 writing prompt cards, then sort them into four color piles: Story, Opinion, How-To and Facts. A child picks a card, plans ideas in the First, Next and Last boxes, and then types until one full page is done. The Publishing Checklist walks the child through a title, capital letters, end marks, spell check and reading the work out loud. The My Typing Log keeps a record of every piece, so children can watch their writing grow. A How to Use page gives simple steps for setup and play.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 24 writing prompt cards in four colors
- Plan Before You Type page
- Publishing Checklist with nine steps
- My Typing Log
Why This Publishing Writing Activity Helps Kids
First, a clear prompt and a short plan take away the fear of a blank screen, so children start typing right away. Second, the checklist teaches children to check and fix their own work before they share it. Third, typing one full page in one sitting builds stamina and keyboard speed. This publishing writing activity covers story, opinion, how-to and informative writing, so it fits many lessons in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use Let’s Publish My Writing Activity in a computer center, during writing workshop, or as homework when a child has a home computer or tablet. Print finished pages for a class book, post them on a bulletin board, or have children read their work to a partner. Older students can pick two cards from different colors and write a longer piece.
