                 amazing, 
                     fantastic, 
                           colorful, 
                               thoughtful, 
                                       dynamic, 
                                              specific, 
                                                   creative words
to paint a beautiful picture in your reader's mind!

Blog #3.  Get a pair of headphones from the purple bins in the maker space.  Watch this video about an idea:

Assignment October 6, 2017

Happy October!!

This morning, you have two blogs to write.

1.)   Writers, today you will use your writing notebook to write an October Acrostic.  You may use the words: Autumn, October, Halloween, Harvest or another one if you think of a great one that is about October.  Mrs. Nabors has October word lists on the back counter.  However, don't use a word if you don't know the meaning.    

Typing hints:   

• You will need to press the enter key to take you down to the next line.  
• After you have typed your poem, you may add clip art.  Don't forget to give credit at the bottom of the post to the website where you got your pictures.

An example:  

Overhead, the

Canopy of green

Turns to gold, breaks free

On autumn

Breezes,

Escaping before the cold winter

Rush

Title this post:  October Acrostic   

2.) Readers, you have read some very imaginative books this six weeks.  Write your second blog post describing your favorite book from the 1st six weeks.  Was the setting amazing?  Did the character react in ways that you could understand? Were you able to imagine being a part of the story? 

 Title this post:  Imagination in My Reading

Remember, all of your posts should be written with complete sentences, capital letters, and punctuation.  I can not wait to read your words and share them with the other teachers!!

Happy Blogging!
