Reading and Writing

We are using the Mysteries of Harris Burdick to inspire our imaginative writing.  This week, we talked about imaginative writing.  How a writer must create characters, settings, problems….and entire other reality.

This week, we worked on developing a character.  Your child has worked on their character traits and what kinds of things their character likes to do, words to describe their character.  They have also illustrated what their character looks like.

This week, your child needs to write a letter to me pretending to be that character.  They need to put themselves in their character’s shoes and think about what they do during the day, what adventures they may have had….what they would think is important to put into a letter to me.

Students created a character map on the back of their homework sheet to keep track of all the details of their character.
