2016-2017
Date
March 29, 2017
Additional Info
Today we learned more about how to use the "Ideas" trait in our writing. Our writing should have lots of detail and description. We can add description by using adjectives:
- The enthusiastic painter painted a colourful picture.
Or sensory details:
- Sight, Touch, Smell, Sound, Taste
We want our readers to feel sensation - not just the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon.
Students were given the choice to revise the story they wrote before Spring Break, or to begin writing a new one. BUT they had to write and revise using lots of detailed description (Ideas).
Next day we will focus on Organization.
