Happy Friday!

Another wonderful week! Today we took another look at the story excerpt "Everything Will be Okay" from yesterday and analyzed the way the author conveys tone. We annotated part of the story as a class, and then divided it up as a jigsaw activity. We may need to revisit this on Tuesday. So many students want to share their writing, and I will get to you. I need 90- minute classes! Don't lose faith..I will try to carve out more time for sharing. As an exit card, students wrote the original sentence from one of their stories and then the revised sentence using a strategy they have learned. I will be displaying these.

H/W: Nothing for the weekend, but use this opportunity to get caught up if you are behind. Remember to READ and notice the author's craft...what can you "borrow" from that author to use in your writing?

See you next week!
