Objective: To "sparkle" up our writing with better word choice. Students will construct sentences that show the reader something rather than tell them.
1.) Warm-Up: Design/Decorate library card pocket for bulletin board.
2.) Mini-Lesson: Showing vs. Telling and watch this clip for an example.
3.) Writers' Challenge Activity - Working Together
4.) Agenda Books
HOMEWORK:
1.) Choose one of the "telling" sentences below that you want to make into a "showy" sentence. Write the best sentence you can on a piece of computer paper (81/2 x 11) held horizontally. Then illustrate the sentence on the paper.
2.) Finish dialoguing with The Lady, or the Tiger by Frank Stockton
REMINDER:
Open House is tonight for your parents starting at 6:30pm. We're so excited to meet them, so make sure you remind them!
