The kids wrote about their birthdays for 15 minutes. (Yes, I set a timer. Ten minutes might be better.) Here are a few, introductory sentences. The kids are revising their birthday paragraphs to add a hook and make them funnier. We had a lively discussion about commas. My plan is to do a Commas Workshop and maybe a lesson about appositives.
I introduced Claim Evidence Reasoning with a Far Side Cartoon. (This process is useful for lab reports.). We discussed ‘hooks’ and edited a grant proposal I’m writing for a Montessori school. Lastly, the kids are doing scavenger hunts at home to see which grammar, citation, or editing books their families already own.
