Inspired Creative Writing!

The past several weeks my classroom has been invaded by ALIENS!!  No need to call Men in Black!  These aliens inspired a great deal of creativity and writing!  When writing creatively, I have my students use invented spelling.  They say the word s-l-o-w-l-y and write down the sounds they hear.  This is a great technique for teaching phonics in a relevant and authentic manner.
