Four more days off? Woah! Back to work, it is!

Today we worked more with characters and theme, before we went on to another writing lesson to develop our short stories. Lesson 3 - Creating a Believable Personality. In this lesson (after all of our other mini lessons today), we asked students to write how their character would think, do, and or say to the following situations (see image). We then came up with five adjectives to describe our main character. Students were encouraged to use their character trait sheet from the beginning of the year.

Homework:
* Independent Reading Process (20 min of reading, blog by Friday PM)
* BRING IND. RDG. MATERIALS tomorrow!
