Week 11 IEW Writing from Pictures

This week we will cover the prepositional and -ly sentence openers and personification while we write from pictures after we listen to students' work.

We will be using Lesson 21 in our USHBW books.
Please read version 1 and version 2.
Which version is more captivating?
What did they use to open or start their first sentence? A prepositional phrase
Where else did they open with a prepositional phrase?
Can anyone give me an example of a prepositional opener? We can use pg 6 of our Student Resource Notebook for help.

-Ly openers are simply sentences that start with an -ly word. Not to be mistaken with our -ly dress-ups. Use your Student Resource Notebook for a list of -ly words to help you.
Quickly, Suddenly, Inextricably, Foolishly, Courageously,...

Personification gives human characteristics to things or ideas. We will use Pg 151 to help us brainstorm some ideas.

The waves slapped angrily at the boat.
The trees stretched up to the sky.
The water creeped over the cement.

We will use the rest of the time to brainstorm ideas for the pictures in Lesson 21.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
