Inference/Word Choice

Today we worked on using inference in our writing. We worked on developing strategies to show emotions, and details with great word choice without having to say how our characters feel. The students truly loved our hook (this commercial). It was so great to see the students using such powerful descriptions to create vivid details. We also used another one of our great Six Traits books: Tattletale Armadillo. (Unfortunately my second writing class missed this lesson because of Show Choir and will miss class again tomorrow because of Checkpoints). Students in this class are encouraged to come to morning remediation to catch up.
