Writing Lesson #1--Paragraphing
1. Beginning a New Paragraph--Read this to yourself. (p. 28)
2. Practice putting in paragraphs on page 29--an excerpt from author John Green. Use the paragraph symbol where you feel there should be a new paragraph (based on what you know from p. 28)
3. Compare our answers with a partner, making changes if needed.
4. Look at the author's version of paragraph breaks, and we talked about how ours were similar, and how ours were different.
Writing Lesson #2--Making Line Breaks
1. Read the directions; then I’ll model how to work with partners to complete the assignment on page 30.
2. Take ten minutes with partners to break the poems into lines, then talk about how and why.
3. Get back together as a class to chat about the hows and whys, after we looked at the authors' original breaks.
