Personal narrative writing is in full swing! This week we’ll continue exploring how stories are told as we examine examples in writing and film. I encourage you to ask your child about what we’ve been working on in class and how they’re improving as writers.
The following is an outlook for the week of October 5-9:
Monday- “Color it Up” Activity, Day 2: Students add narrative elements to a novice personal narrative.
Tuesday- “Visual Snapshot” Activity, Day 1 - Identify and highlight precise words that create images in the reader’s mind.
Wednesday- “Visual Snapshot” Activity, Day 2- Students create a Visual Snapshot paragraph about a significant event in their life.
Thursday- Students view 30 second film clip of Sulley’s entrance into Boo’s room from Monster’s Inc. and record sensory detail. Then, write a frozen moment narrative from Sulley’s point of view.
Friday- Vocab Quiz on Unit 4 Words. Due: Vocab Unit 4.
Reminder: Reading goals due October 8th.
Have a great week!
