Lesson #2

Today's lesson started with POEMS.  Students were given two words...the titles of the poems.  In this case...Blue and Brown.   They were asked to think of words that would help convey the visual or the feeling of the words they were given.  No need to rhyme.

Next...we moved onto the 5 W's & How.  Like the 5 Senses...the 5 W's & How can be used to help build more interesting sentences.

 

A man worked.

Jack (who) mowed the lawn (what) joyfully (how) on Saturday morning (when) at his mother's house (where) because he loved her (why.)

* Every sentence we write does not need to include ALL of the 5 W's & How...just like every sentence we write does not need to include ALL of the 5 Senses.

We talked about SIMILES. 

Then...we parted ways.

"Parting is such sweet sorrow."  William Shakespeare
