WEDNESDAY: Today we looked at ways to revise first drafts to add details, description, and voice. ELAW82.d We looked at models and then went back into the second paragraph we wrote as homework and applied the following revisions: 1. Add three sentences that include any of the following words (also, for instance, for example, because, additionally), 2. Add sentences to ensure writing appeals to at least three senses, and 3. Cross out three dead words and revise to include a word that helps create a mental image.

Classes 3,5,6, and 7 were also given the "Meet Me Word Splash." Download Meet Me Word Splash
HOMEWORK: Complete your revisions of paragraph two, and complete the "Meet Me Word Splash" being sure to add A DETAIL UNDER EACH LINE. For example, if you wrote "dog" under the Family Pet category, you could add detail by writing "Golden Retriever" or "Kirby" under your word "dog."
