This week's writing focus has been all about different strategies to use when writing leads. One strategy that we practiced using was making sure that we are showing, not telling, our emotions or feelings at the start of our personal narratives. We discussed that if we just come right out and say how we feel, then we are cheating our reader out of using their brain!
To practice this skill, we played the game "Guess My Emotion." Students picked an emotion card out of a bucket and had to use descriptive words and phrases to show what emotion they drew. The kids did a wonderful job and our work is hanging in the hall so that others are able to join in on the game!
Can you guess that emotion?? Try your luck below.
