WRITING ASSIGNMENT

The students were sent home with an observation assignment. They have Wednesday and Thursday night to take notes while someone in the house performs a task. It could be dad cooking, mom doing laundry or even an older sibling cleaning their room or performing choirs.  We are working on the IDEA TRAIT for writing. One of the strategies for this trait is to observe the ordinary things that happen every day and describe them in interesting and novel ways. I am sending home the worksheet tonight with the students.  I have included a picture of the mentor text that we used in class highlight the IDEA TRAIT.

THANK YOU
