This week the children started a writing project that extends a book we read in class "My Father's Dragon". They are writing their own version and are looking to add some newly acquired skills such as quotation marks through dialogue, similes, onomatopoeias, and adjectives to show rather than tell the reader information. We used macaroni to
create " " which was so much fun!
create " " which was so much fun!
After picking out a picture of an animal, kids created a sentence that would represent what they thought an animal would say .
Finally, working in small groups kids used the Pic Collage app to download a picture and create a speech bubble with speech. (Getting the quotation marks to work in the app was challenging !)
Here are some pictures from today's event! I will work on posting the video but Dan will also be putting it online so we will let you know when that happens!
