For literacy we have been reading the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.
For writing we were describing a wild thing she gave us several options to pick from to describe.
Our goal was to use descriptive nouns and verbs (interesting vocabulary) and vary our sentence beginnings.

The Wild Things legs are scaly like a fish with a stripy upper body.He also has razor sharp claws has yellow eyes and he also has a bristly tail.The horns on his head is very sharp.He also has bushy mane.His feet are as big as a giant.
Can you guess which wild thing I described?
Hey Rigg,
ReplyDeleteI can really guess which one you were trying to describe. It is the first one with the dirty as feet. If you do not remember me I am Marley from may road school. you should remember me because you were my BFF! Got to go Hope you have a great day at school. Keep up the great work!)
From Marley, Your old friend from MRS(May Road School
Talofa lava Rigg,
ReplyDeleteI agree with Marley! I think you have written about the first wild thing on the left. I think you have managed to use several specific nouns. Your next step would be to vary your sentence starters a bit. Try starting your sentence with an adjective like: Yellow eyes stare brightly...
Keep up the great blogging effort!
Konnichi Wa Rigg,
ReplyDeleteI very loved your descriptive writing about your vicious wild things. I also loved your fantastic writing because you have explained and describe your wild thing and how you have used some specific nouns. I liked that sentence like how you wrote it( He also has razor sharp claws has yellow eyes and he also has a bristly tail). I think you should try use adjective and more info about it next you write a descriptive writing. This also reminds me when I was a year 5 had to use more adjectives and put more info and descriptive words.
Keep up your fabulous blogging effort! Come sometime and check my blog.
Yours sincerely Raymond
