Emotions are a good place to start especially with the focus in Second Step, emotions are an often talked about concept. 6.15- Let reader know who is talking- perfect to incorporate into our narrative writing. 6.17- perfect for supplement with our immigration interview. AND... 6.18 for the animal migration research!!!!]]> 2018-03-16 13:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242801268 Betsy and Javier-Goal 7 https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242801309 7.3-Precise nouns-Re-read writing and circle nouns, ask yourself if you can get any more specific? (instead of dog...write dalmatian!)
7.17- Hyperbole- Find a place where you want to emphasize or dramatize a point, or where you want to inject some humor. Think about what words you'd change to deliberately exaggerate.
7.27-Surprising verbs-underline verbs and make a list of different verbs that would make the writing more clear

Strategies broken down by grade level.

These strategies can be meshed with our dictado lessons. If it focuses on Apostrophes then you can pull out the lesson to help clarify the concept for the students. It can be added to word work. ]]> 2018-03-16 13:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242801546 Vanessa and Emily Goal #3 https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242802103 We found a lot of strategies for students to collect ideas. They can go for a walk and observe (3.8) what they see, interview to find topics (3.9), collect items to write about later and start a scrapbook (3.10), have sticky notes to jot down observations/things that spark interest throughout the day]]> 2018-03-16 13:26:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242802103 Grade 5 floresevette77 https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242802837 Goal #10

This section deals with adding fictional details. Our students sometimes struggle with setting, character and plot. We are currently working on these during the writing of their fractured fairy tales. This activity should help students with writing more specific details. ]]> 2018-03-16 13:28:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242803694 Reread your pictures so it soundsit sounds like a storybook https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242803882

We like strategy 1 (Make your Pictures and Your Words Agree) because you can use it at the first writing steps and also as they are more skilled in writing. 
We also like the idea of strategy 2 (Focus on Time), as it can help kids to structure their narratives and start thinking about time. But we also think this is more complicated for young learners. ]]> 2018-03-16 13:30:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242804692 Maria, Meg, Faye Goal #2 https://padlet.com/jejenkins/3odc8qx60y6p/wish/242805035 2.1- Create Your Best Environment : Draw yourself in a comfortable writing spot in the room. 
2.8- Stamina : Just like in reading stamina matters in writing.
