Today we talked more about the first trait of writing, ideas. One of the major components of having good ideas that translate well into writing is having good details. Writers who use good details can be related to looking out the window with a pair of binoculars, you see things much more clearly. Using our six traits of writing rubric we read the story "Cloud with a Change of Meatballs" to focus on ideas and details in writing. The homework assignment due on September 11 is as follows: "Write about your favorite toy, this toy could be from your childhood or from right now or even something in between" Requirements: Must be at least 1/2 page (can be written or typed) Must have the title "Toy Story" in the top middle of the paper Must have your first and last name on the top right side of paper Circle or underline the details in your story (descriptive words, adjectives, adverbs, etc.) Attached is my example to give you an idea of what I'm looking for.
