Mon. 9./15 Day Four. Sensory Details

Today we dove head-first into the art of writing using sensory details!

We:
1. Had our vocabulary assignment stamped (make sure you're doing the _whole_ sheet) and reviewed answers
2. Had our note taking assignment stamped
3. Reviewed sensory details and found examples in "The Deep Fried Potato Bug."
4. Tried amazing strange food!!!!
5. Took notes on our experience using our "Sensory Details Word Bank"
5. Started writing a polished paragraph about our experience

Homework:
1. Finish finding examples of sensory details from "Deep Fried" (if needed).
2. Polish your "food postcard;" focus on conventions and descriptions.
3. Brainstorm 5 outlines for your travel story (setting + character + conflict = result).

If you were absent:
1. Get a yellow "Travel Writing Sensory Details" sheet and a "Sensory Details Word Bank" (purple) from the extras binder the next time you come to class.
2. Find 4 different foods at home to try. Maybe try something you've never tasted before.
3. Follow the directions on the sheet and turn it in at the beginning of the next class.
