Writing from the HEART with heart maps

 Today during our Writer's Workshop we created heart maps. A heart map is a visual representation of what a student likes or cares about. This heart-shaped picture uses drawings and words to show the things that "live" in a child's heart waiting for the chance to be revealed by a writing activity. The most important ideas go in the middle and the less important things go in the surrounding spaces. Here are a few pictures of our"hearts"










After drawing our heart maps, a few students wanted to share what was close to their hearts with the class.
