You need: A pencil, eraser, highlighter and your ELA duo-tang Writing Lesson 8: Sharpen the Image With Specific Nouns You need: A pencil, eraser, highlighter and your ELA duo-tang

Purpose In this lesson, you will learn to improve your writing by changing general nouns to specific nouns. Our goal is to create a piece of writing with as much detail as possible.

Before Examples Gloria received different things for her birthday. We played games for a long time on a rainy day.

Revision Tips Underline general nouns such as stuff, things, flowers, games. Brainstorm specific nouns to replace general words. Specific nouns are like snapshots: they enable others to imagine what you see. Replace general words with the best specific nouns. Rearrange, add, or delete words to improve the sentence.

Brainstorm Box Use these specific nouns to create more detailed writing: THINGS SECRET DIARY, A GREEN SWEATER, RUNNING SNEAKERS GAMES MONOPOLY, CHECKERS TIME A RAINY AFTERNOON, NEAR MIDNIGHT, SUNRISE, EARLY SPRING

After Examples Gloria received different things for her birthday. For her birthday Gloria received a secret diary, a green pullover sweater, and high-top running shoes. We played games for a long time on a rainy day. On a rainy day we played Monopoly and checkers to pass the time. HOW DID SPECIFIC NOUNS SHARPEN THE IMAGES? WHY ARE SPECIFIC WORDS MORE INTERESTING THAN GENERAL WORDS?

Activity 8 Choose three sentences and change the underlined general words to specific nouns. At the grocery store, mom bought lots for dinner. Three lizards shape-shifted into different things. To build that dollhouse, she used many materials. Our club sponsored the dance and decorated the gym with stuff.
