Writing: Why do you need to know your audience when writing?
Let’s Be Writers! • Today we will discuss writing for different audiences. Then we will continue working on our rough drafts and cut pictures out of magazines that will enhance our writing.
4 Gifts: Want Need Wear Read
Who is our audience? Section Want Need Wear Read Who is the audience? How will we write?
In your notebook, write one rough draft on each page. Remember OREO: Opinion, reason, example, restate opinion. Want – Be extremely descriptive. More reasons the better! Need – You will have to CONVINCE your parents that it’s a need and not a want. You need to describe the item but also describe WHY you need it. Wear – Be descriptive. And again, lots of reasons! Read – Don’t start this one today. We will do it next week.
Reading: What is the difference between summarizing and retelling?
Time to read! • Take out your reader’s notebook and thinking reading notebook (if you are reading your book club book). • Use post it notes!
