Ok, elementary teachers - I need a little bit of help. I volunteered to teach a session at my college's "Writing Rally"; this is basically an event where students K-5 get to come (with a parent) and write a book. However, this means that I get 15-20 3rd graders for 1 hour and 50 minutes, and I am supposed to help facilitate as they write their book.
Any ideas on how to do the introductions, make the kids comfortable, and ultimately or get them excited and ready to work? I am a secondary person, so I have never worked with kids younger than grade 7, so any info on the capabilities/skills of 3rd graders would be greatly appreciated!
