Thursday, February 15th





Today we will meet in Writing Groups.  We will discuss more ways to give and receive feedback before we meet.

 First, you will play two truths and a lie with your new group.  Then you will share your work with your group on Google Docs. You must read it aloud.   They will read it and go in to the SUGGESTING mode to give you feedback on your piece.  

 We will come back to class and you will revise your piece using the feedback you received.
When you are finished, you will publish it to KIDBLOG.  Then you will comment on three other people's work.

 You will work on your dramatic moment piece when you finish.

Welcome to Creative Writing! I am excited about our semester together!   Today we will learn a little about the class (I will try not to be BORING)!  We will get to know each other and create Selfies and Text Messages about ourselves. We will use THIS template for your selfie picture.  You will write a text message answering one or more of the following questions: What did you NOT do this summer? Best memory of the summer. Best thing you ate this summer. Funniest thing that happened this summer. Person you spent a lot of time with this summer. Something educational you did this summer. Somewhere you traveled or went this summer. If you have another idea, just ask! We will display these on our bulletin board to learn more about each other! After that, we will play a few games to get us up and moving around! TO DO Please bring a pair of school scissors tomorrow, as well as a glue stick!

PADLET TO POST YOUR BEST MENTOR SENTENCE Work on parodies-We will perform them on Tuesday, June 12th Writing Groups Begin brainstorming ideas of things to review Look at Reviews Write a review AutoExec WheelMate $24   BUY NOW Now you can drive and use your laptop at the same time! IT'S SO EASY!  Best review:  "My husband Brad always warns me not to try and update my Facebook page while I'm driving. 'You'll hit another pedestrian,' he says. 'This isn't the Enterprise, there isn't a deflector array.' Then along comes a miracle product like this! I can now happily fly at warp speed down the streets of Los Angeles, laptop or mobile device perched right in front of me, so I can keep both eyes right on it AND on the road. It's so much easier to ignore all the frightened screams and annoying honking when you've got Facebook to look at while driving. Thank you, Wheelmate! " —  George Take L. Wurts 2
