Here's what we did in class today:
Objective: Why does word choice matter when I write?
1- Read silently for 15 minutes and complete one reading strategy.
2- Image Activity- Students read a description of a house. Then I show them the actual house. They pictured something completely different because of my choice of words. Therefore, word choice matters!
3- Look at the chapter entitled "Hairs" from "The House on Mango Street." Students work in pairs to determine which phrases are the best and why?
4- Writing with the 5 senses- Students complete the following task in groups. Be as descriptive as possible. After completing the assignment, we'll share and discuss our work with the class.
