How is a Writer like a Sculptor?

In ELA this week, we had the opportunity to play with clay-dough.  We worked with our clay-dough to compare how a writer is like a sculptor.  We learned that both writers and sculptors go through a process to create a final masterpiece!  We planned, drafted, revised and edited. We let the creator part of us run wild as we worked with our material to build a pencil holder. Check out our final pieces!
