•
•
To understand and apply the essay

Students will learn to use the following in
their writing:
• Vivid verbs

• Descriptive language
• SHOWing rather than TELLing in
writing
• Prepositional phrases
ENDANGERED SPECIES
PROJECT

American animals and use information from
their research to create varied writing
pieces. This research ties into science and
will also tie into art which happens 3rd
quarter.
More About Writing!
• Writing is personal and different for each child.
• All pieces will be graded for both content and
mechanics.
• Students will participate in peer conferencing.
• Students will have opportunities to polish writing
before a final copy is graded.
When was the last time
you read a good book?
 Where was the last place you read a
good book?
 What is the silliest setting you can
think of to read?
 What would you read if you were ten
years old and had the freedoms that
come with youth?
 Finding joy in reading as an adult can
help your child find joy and develop
life long habits as readers!
