The fourth grade students have really enjoyed writing headlines as a part of their novel studies. When we first began writing headlines a few weeks ago, students struggled to write statements that both captured the main idea and were entertaining. The students have really grown in their understanding and creativity and now look forward to writing headlines. Now, without hesitation, students are excited to share their thinking and justify why their headline encompasses the essence of each chapter.
We even have a few headlines from novels that students are reading on their own!
