Writer's Workshop:

This week the students learned about the different types of sentences.  They are imperative, declarative, interrogative and exclamatory.  In addition, they learned about complete subjects and predicates and simple subjects and predicates.  They also learned the helping verb song and the verb is the word rap.
Next week, I will teach them about subjects in interrogative and imperative sentences, compound subjects, compound predicates, and compound sentences.  Hopefully this will help them understand sentence structure a little better.

Writer's Workshop:

This week the students learned the correct way to add dialogue in their stories.  We also discussed how alliteration, assonance, and consonance can make their writing more visual.  In addition, we went over the historical fiction and editing check-list before they typed their final drafts.   During our writing conferences this week, I was really impressed with their stories.
Next week, they will finish typing their stories and present them to the class.
