Everyday Editing: We reviewed and wrote the four dialogue rules in our writer's notebook. We also wrote an example of the rules being used, so we could better understand why we indent each time a new person speaks, and what it looks like to put punctuation inside quotations.
SSR (Following silent reading time, I gave a book talk on three books. I am hoping students were hooked and interested in reading these books!)
Quick Write: We read a narrative written by Penny Kittle about the time she thought she lost her daughter in Paris. We discussed the writing techniques used and also looked at how all the dialogue in the piece made the writing interesting and even suspenseful. Students then wrote in their writer's notebook on this topic: Write about a time you lost something, you were lost, or you felt very
scared. Try to use dialogue in your reflection.
Lesson: Students continued to work on storyboard.
Homework: Students need to have the storyboard finished by tomorrow! I will be checking to see if this has been completed at home. We will begin rough drafting tomorrow in the computer lab on our narrative essay.
