6 Traits

Friday we continued working on our 6 Traits of writing across all content areas. In Social Studies we used Now & Ben to connect the importance of Benjamin Franklin with our Colonial America unit. We were able to connect our trait of word choice with great historical facts. Students applied their understanding of the significance of Benjamin Franklin to their colonial journals. Also, in writing we used James and the Giant Peach to further our development of word choice. Students wrote entertaining stories focusing on verbs and adjectives. It is so great to see the students writing developing with so many vivid details!
