Review of elements of descriptive writing
Blocks C& D:

Descriptive Writing Activity: Sense of Sight
Reviewed the importance of using specific words to qualify or describe a color.
Broke into groups to brainstorm different shades of each of the assigned 9 colors (each color had its own bristol board). Exchanged after 3 minutes until each group had an opportunity to think of specific shades for each color.
Group with most shades will win a "candy" prize on Monday:)

Block D: Assigned "Senses Poem" -- passed out criteria sheet and rubric. (due next Wednesday)
Block C: Will assign "Senses Poem" tomorrow!
Homework: Be sure to have your grammar sheets completed for tomorrow.
