Brown Bag Activity!

Each year I have my students fill a brown bag with 5 items that represent them and their lives.  Then they share them with the class.  They then pick 3 of the 5 items and use those three items for their body paragraphs for their "All About Me Essay."  They love sharing and then it is A LOT easier to get them to write when they already have connections to the items that they brought in to share!

I have it on my TPT site....http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Kristen-Richardson-8363
