Today we reviewed strategies for drafting expository writing, specifically sequencing. Students learned that sequencing includes "buzz" words or "cue" words that help readers know that you're leading through a series of events or sequence of events.
With this mini lesson, students have added three types of paragraphs to their repertoire of writing: descriptive, narrative, and expository--sequencing. By the end of the quarter, students should have fifteen paragraphs, three of each type, in a portfolio of final drafts.
Agenda: Students have a take-home quiz over prepositional phrases to complete--due Thursday, 9/9/10. Students will have a 25 point quiz over their personal survival list of spelling, which they completed last week.
Have a great evening. Come on rain! (My brown lawn needs it.)
Fondly,
Mrs. Venekamp
