Here's a short video tutorial on mentor sentences.
Today was a great day! We played a bit of Would You Rather to get to know one another and then we listened while Dr. Rowe a short story called "First Day Fly." This week, we'll be looking at two short pieces (First Day Fly & Coat of Many Colors) and analyzing the texts for characterization and how the author write about the characters and what that reveals to us as readers. We also talked about character's VOICE and how sometimes characters don't use correct grammar because this is more informal writing.
