Tuesday, July 15

Good morning, everyone!
A great day of HARD work yesterday by almost everyone! I am always impressed by your commitment to the tasks. Way to go!

We will continue to work on the Animal Alliteration Poems that we started yesterday. Here are two links:


A few things that I noticed yesterday...
  1. Alliteration is the repetition of the begining sound/letter of each word in the 1-line poem [Tilly the Toad tasted tacos on Thursday]
  2. Think about adjectives to describe your noun (the animal)... I usually start by thinking about my animal and maybe the character that I name it, then start filling in words that describe an activity, then more words to describe that activity. Adjectives can be words that mean: size, color, or number. [Billy bent broken bar-bells by Brent the big Brown Bear]

Here is just one creative example:
