A few reminders...

Please hold on to your Cleopatra books until we are finished with our writing assignment next week. It will be an in-class assignment and we will be taking it step-by-step. Stay tuned for more details.

Hold on to your index cards as well - we will be adding supporting details and a conclusion to the topic sentence we wrote today. We will then clip our cards to a ring to use as a tactile reminder for how to build a paragraph.

Tonight's homework does not require complete sentences; simply jot down 5 facts or ideas that support your class's topic sentence. Do not put them on index cards (a scrap piece of paper will be fine).

Topic sentences:

6-1: Winter, one of the most beautiful seasons, is a time for slowing down.

6-2: Winter is a seasonal wonderland that offers many fun things to do.

Great job today brainstorming some winter-related images and feelings!
