P I Z Z A Z
This website is a simple and
creative writing resource that has oral storytelling activities with printable
handouts for poetry, fictions, and bag of tricks. This site also uses
poems and short stories as writing examples and exercises to teach creative
writing and usage.
English Language Development Standards it addresses includes Speaking and Writing.
These activities can be used with all ages. They scale well to beginner through advanced level proficiency.
Favorite Activity: Magazine Marvel
Students create stories from
magazine picture collections. I think this is a great activity because
it teaches students how to be creative with their writing based on images
they find. This would be really fun in a 2nd or 3rd grade classroom. I
would turn this activity into a lesson where they share their story orally
after they find various images to craft their story.
My review of the website was not too bad. While this site has some great activities, I didn’t find it as inviting and exciting. This website is geared more towards teachers and the resources that they can use to help English language learners. I really loved how they had poetry handouts. Poetry can help English language learners develop their oral skills as well. Poetry also is less intimidating and more manageable to memorize. I really love how poetry helps learners read and reread and provides ample opportunity to enunciate words. The repetition in poetry promotes fluency as well. I also loved how they had fiction handouts that can promote students creating and telling stories. Showing and telling can promote individuality in the classroom.
