About this resource
Description
Good writers use what they read to explain, tell stories and share opinions. This writing tweets activity gives students in 3rd, 4th and 5th grade a fun reason to write about a text. The “tweets” are the happy songs of birds, because every prompt connects to a how-to text about building a bird feeder.
In this pack, students first read “Making a Milk or Juice Carton Bird Feeder,” a clear how-to text with a list of supplies and step-by-step directions. Next, they pick one of eight prompt cards, each set on a twig sign with a little bluebird. Some prompts ask students to explain or retell the steps, some ask for an opinion with reasons, and some invite a creative story from a bird’s point of view. Students plan their ideas, look back at the text for details, and write on the My Tweet Writing page.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page for teachers
- Read the Text page: Making a Milk or Juice Carton Bird Feeder
- Eight writing prompt cards (one-sided, easy straight cuts)
- My Tweet Writing lined page
- 4th grade practice worksheet: a pinecone bird feeder how-to text with steps and questions
- Answer keys with a writing checklist, sample answers and the practice key
Why These Bird Feeder Writing Prompts Help Kids
First, writing about a text builds both reading comprehension and writing skills at the same time. Second, choosing from different kinds of prompts gives practice with informative, opinion and narrative writing. Third, a real project like a bird feeder makes students excited to share their ideas.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use this writing tweets activity at a writing center, for morning work, or as a weekly prompt choice. Students can draw a new card each day until they finish the set. For an extra treat, build a feeder as a class and write about the birds that visit. These bird feeder writing prompts also work well at home for a weekend journal.
