W1D3 Writing

Quick Write #2 for descriptive writing with sensory details:

For each Quick Write, you should write for a minimum of 15 minutes. You may use a timer, and try to write until the timer goes off. Remember, you are building stamina. You may write longer if you are not finished with your paragraph.

Quick Write:

In Your Journal:

        1. Label your journal page: Quick Write #2   Module 1    Descriptive Writing with Sensory Details
        2. Read the prompt:

          Think of a brand new planet you’ve just discovered and a creature who lives there. Describe this creature to your fellow space explorers back on Earth.

          Use sensory details (see, hear, taste, touch, smell).

        3. Think for one minute
        4. Begin your timer
        5. Write 

Let's Edit:

After writing for fifteen minutes. Read your paragraph to yourself. Think back to the module lesson rubric. Let’s check to make sure that:

✐ each sentence is capitalized and punctuated correctly

✐ the paragraph has a topic sentence, at least three supporting sentences with sensory details, and a concluding sentence

If you need to make changes (revise/edit) to your paragraph, do that now. Good writers always read their work carefully to make sure the writing is clear for readers to understand. 

In Your Journal: Once you have finished editing/revising your work.  Draw and color a picture of your favorite food at the bottom of your journal page.
