Week of April 11, 2009

//The plans for writing this week will last all week long.//

Students will take each of their dash facts from a category and put them in a progressive order. Then they will turn each dash fact into a sentence. There will be a new mini-lesson each day on how to vary sentences and make them interesting. It is very important that students share out during these lessons so that they can here each other's unique and interesting sentences.

Dash Facts from last year's students are available to model the mini-lessons after.

Students should do only one category at a time.

After students finish writing their sentences from dash facts in one category they should pass in their work to a teacher with a rubric filled out. [|RubricDashtoSentences.doc]

Annie has copies of the sheet to transfer dash facts into notes. She lost the computer version of the document but will recreate it.


 * Day 1 Learning Target:** I can turn a dash fact into a perfectly punctuated sentence.
 * Day 2 Learning Target:** I can turn each dash fact into a different and interesting sounding sentence.
 * Day 3-4 Learning Target:** A combination of both learning targets.
