Writing: Students are to write another paragraph about a time when they were nervous. We have been working on showing and not telling. Three ways to show and not tell include:
1. adding similes or metaphors (which we have been learning about as well),
2. adding imagery, (such as a my teeth were chattering, my body felt like a volcano, .......)
3. adding thoughts and feelings (I thought to myself, "I can't do this!")
(It needs to be at least two paragraphs showing they understand the concept of showing and not tell)
Reading: Read for 1/2 hour
Spelling: Unit 11 ~ Second page
