Four Square Writing Process for First Grade~
Objective #1.43 Write brief narratives (fictional and autobiographical) narratives describing an experience
Objective #1.44 Write brief expository descriptions of a real object, person, place, or event, using sensory details in complete sentences
Using a four square enables first grade children to create a simple five sentence paragraph. The main idea of the paragraph is circled in the middle. Three supporting detail sentences follow in the boxes, beginning with the top row working from left to right, and finishing with the bottom left. The concluding, or wrap-up, sentence is located in the bottom right box. This provides structure for building the neat copy.
