Today students handed in their homework from last day (questions on "Thank You Ma'am").
In today's class we had the "Showing/Telling" lesson. Our focus was on descriptive writing and students wrote a descriptive paragraph. Their pargaraphs were create during class and were handed in. Click here to download the lesson and paragraph assignment.
I shared two writing tips during our work (Tip 1 -- use a simile or metaphor to add flair to your writing. Tip 2 -- avoid all the simple words you learned back in Kindergarten; that is, avoid words such as good bad sad nice big small happy mean things stuff cool neat . . . )
Then we had our library orientation in the second half of class. Students need to finish their library orientation work if it hasn't already been handed in.
