Unit 3 – Week 1 – Day 4 Unit 3 – Week 1 – Day 4 Being a Writer 10:30 – 11:30

Getting Started Come to the carpet quietly and sit next to your partner. Make sure you bring your pencil and your writing notebook with you. Yesterday you began writing drafts of personal narratives. What makes personal narrative writing different from other kinds of writing?

“Mrs. Seeton’s Whistle” Today I am going to read aloud a segment (pgs ) of a personal narrative in which Jerry Spinelli writes about one small memory he has. I want you to think as you listen about what he does to make his memory feel real to us as readers. Vocabulary words: Flanking the ice – on either side of the ice Castanet – a musical instrument that makes a clacking noise Relishing – really enjoying

Explore Sensory Details What did you imagine seeing as you listened to this passage? What did imagine hearing? What other senses did you imagine using? What words in this passage helped you imagine these things? Do you think it was just luck that the author wrote something that gave so much detail that allowed us to imagine this? Jerry Spinelli’s memory becomes real to us because he includes sensory details, or words that help us imagine using our senses.

Independent Writing For the next 20 – 30 minutes you will continue to write personal narratives. If you finish one story then you may begin another one. Don’t forget that you do have a list of ideas that you came up with in your “Ideas” section of your notebook, for personal narratives.

Share and Reflect Just as you did yesterday, pick one sentence that you like and underline it. Be prepared to share your sentence with the class.

Questions What sentence did you hear that got you interested in someone else’s writing? What questions do you want to ask a classmate about his or her writing?
