Writing 101

We've been working really hard the last few weeks on learning how to write a structured response.  We have talked about an opening sentence, a focusing sentence (this is what the entire writing piece will be about), 2 to 3 examples that support the focus, and a closing sentence. I have compared this form of writing to a hamburger (the top bun is the opening sentence and the focusing sentence, the meat which is the most important part of the burger is the examples, and the closing sentence is the bottom bun)  Very fun! Next time your child brings an example home, have them read it to you making sure they point out all of the important parts!  All of this hard work is preparing us for MBS!
