What up dawg?

Students are continuing to use the elements of literature to aid their comprehension. Each student presented an element’s definition and an example from a story to the class. Tomorrow students are answering literary element questions about a short story.

In writing, students are learning to write a narrative patterned after the picture book, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. They wrote a draft about Ted’s Bad Day. Today they learned four ways to improve a beginning of the story. Tomorrow they are elaborating using BS (builders and stretchers). On Friday, everyone will be posting on his or her own blogs.
