Today you are going to have some fun being writing explorers. Here are the assignments:
First, click on Wacky Web Tales. Everyone will pick a different topic. Now use creative adjectives, names of your friends, unusual but fascinating nouns, and things related to blogging and weblogs. When you finish we will copy the story and paste it into our blog and then laugh hilariously as we read each others "Wacky Web Tales."
OK, that warmed us up and got us ready to think some more about writing. Go to "Tips for Young Writers" It's a good site but you can come up with even better tips. Blog about one, then add a well-written and very thoughful yet relevant tip of your own. Think about introductions, closings, details, your voice, descriptive words, sentences that grab you and make you want to keep reading, good vocabulary, word choice, punctuation, good grammar, sentences and thoughts that flow well, expressions, action words, proofing and anything else you can think of that relates to writing and blogging. Hey, it's OK if you throw in a little "Blooms" writing also. You can do it!
Then we are going to brainstorm about the special project I talked about last week. It's going to be a great day in Georgia at J. H. House Elementary School!
