Today was very busy day with both our reading and writing.
We discussed today about our editing in our writing and also how to start a story so that the person reading it will become more interested in what we are writing about. What we mean by that is elimination of boring sentences such as "One day there was" ....or "Once upon a time...." where we are simply telling the reader rather than showing them what is occurring in the story.
We had dance today with Miss Janelle.
The grade 3s did a practice literacy test using the computers for the upcoming SLAs.
For homework tonight...please change one of the following story starters into something which is more descriptive and invites the reader to want to read more.
1. Moe was baking a cake
2. Hi my name is Julie
3. A long long time ago
4. One day there was
5. On a very hot day
6. Once there was a girl named Jane
