After going over similes and metaphors, we talked about using quotes and italics for thoughts. Then we edited last week's writing in the computer lab. We finished the day by reading Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, by William Steig. (You can listen to it online at Stories - scroll down the page.)HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT:
Write an original folkale, following the "Four Steps" handout.
IT SHOULD INCLUDE:
1. At least one metaphor or simile.
2. At least one direct quote.
3. At least one thought quote.
I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING YOUR STORIES!
ALSO: Please look at Spelling City and try to work on the vocabulary from the story.
DUE: MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY.
GOOD LUCK!
