Writer's+Notebook+Entries

All the Writer's Notebook entries you should have... The most recent entries will be at the top! I will try and update weekly. Starting 3rd marking period....entries will be less "teacher" directed...We are transitioning our Writer's Notebooks into the hands of the "writers" of HR#235 and HR#236. You will have more opportunities to "free write" and compose various types of entries...poetry, songs, wonderings, memories, personal important moments, just to name a few. These "entries" will become the source of future longer pieces of writing. Hope you enjoy the change! __ **Second grading period: ** __ //__WRITER'S NOTEBOOKS WILL BE COLLECTED ON THURSDAY, JAN. 11TH!!! __// Entry #10: Make a web or list of possible tips you would give to a fourth grader on "How to Be Successful in 5th Grade". Think of this as a prewriting. Entry #9: **Choose two objects or animals. Write a short story about them. Include Type #1 and #2 forms of dialogue.
