Thank heavens for the weekend. We can stop, calm down, reflect, and try to charge back up for the coming week. Hopefully, I'll see some of that extra energy in your writing tomorrow. You will have an additional 20 minutes to complete the timed writing from last Friday. We'll stay in the classroom this time and get started pretty much right away. All you're doing is selecting two character traits and showing why those traits fit either Lemon Brown or Greg. You did it for Squeaky; you can do it for this story as well. I have faith in you!
By the way, I need to give a shout out to Brittany Brown. The girl was on fire (literally or figuratively? Tell me tomorrow for an Archer card signature) on Friday during our quick discussion of "The Treasure of Lemon Brown". We asked two higher level questions (probably level 3 on the DOK chart) and Brittany was all over both of them. Way to go, girl!
We've talked about simple sentences and compound sentences and complex sentences and, most recently, compound-complex sentences. Big challenge some time this week...write me original examples of all four-WITHOUT YOUR NOTES! Ouch! Better be ready!
We have some good stuff coming up this week. Hope you're ready for it. Start thinking about utopias and dystopias. They are in your near future.
See you tomorrow.
