Happy May Day! Today we took our writing further by examining considerations for descriptive writing. To have a common focus, we started by using a short video and then moved to a still photograph. We also wrote a pre-write activity where we made a table to identify imagery for each of the five senses. Next, we shared our two best examples from our tables. On Thursday we'll write the paragraph for this second pre-write. There is no homework. (Thanks Sam, for the pic of the boardwork)
