Late start days are always a little weird. Today felt pretty good, but super fast.
In LA, we took a look at The Toaster and used it for ideas to apply to our own writing. Particularly noted was the dialogue, action and use of strong verbs.
We worked so hard, everyone decided they wanted "writing retreat" time in the afternoon. We had another 36 minutes for silent writing to finish our pieces.
We have one more writing class tomorrow for finishing touches, then we print and celebrate on Friday. We will have a few students who volunteer to read their piece aloud. Everyone else will present a finished printed draft for a gallery reading. We will read as many classmate pieces as possible and leave compliment notes for each writer.
Ms. Lamb will bring juice and crackers to celebrate.
Tonight's homework:
Read
Write if you need to
No math tonigh
