Before vacation we finished up our realistic fiction unit. We are continuing on with the fiction theme, but students are now allowed a little more freedom with their ideas. This is where the creativity and imagination come into play. Students are loving coming up with imaginary characters, places, and problems. We are still working on the same basics but with a new twist! We will still be focusing on having important story elements and bringing our characters to life!
Students have been thinking a lot about word choice or as we call them "sparkly" words. Today, I gave students a tool to keep in their folder with some suggestions of "sparkly" words. It was very popular, and it was great seeing students using the tool to help with their word choice. We also added to our classroom list of "sparkly" words today.
