Writing
_ Personal Narratives - Give your child a chance to write about a subject that they know through personal experience. Focusing on establishing the important aspects of a good personal narrative (character, setting, problem and solution).
Persuasive Writing - Conventions - punctuation, capitalization and appropriate paragraph breaks. Besides weekly work on these various aspects of writing, I put a heavy emphasis on students’ editing their own work. By doing so they are training themselves to be good self-editors, and become conscientious writers. Fiction Story Writing - Literary Techniques - alliteration, personification, and onomatopoeia. Expository Writing - Will extend expository writing into other subjects such as social studies and science. |
