Mrs. Hjorth’s 3rd grade class culminated an opinion writing unit with a twist. Her students have written reviews about restaurants, books, pets, movies, cursive and other interesting topics. Seeking a greater audience to give their writing more purpose the boys and girls took the project a step further by working in groups to create what they call a “Traveling Road Show.”
After working on expression, eye contact, enunciation and delivery, students traveled the school presenting their opinion pieces to various classes, the principal, librarian, guidance counselor and anyone else who would listen. The speakers were a bit nervous at first, but soon gained confidence and enjoyed the experience.
Student volunteers who offered to capture their work by videoing their “Traveling Road Show" are attached below. Enjoy.
