On the snow day and over the weekend, the students were to develop a step-by-step guide on how to complete a simple task (e.g. make scrambled eggs, make a bed, etc...). Today, we took those directions and began to develop a paper (paragraphs) on our "how to" task. Students were encouraged to add in literary elements, such as personification, similes and metaphors, imperative words, and adjectives, which will make their passage more exciting for the reader. The rough draft of this work is due after class on Wednesday. It is important that students complete their draft before Thursday's morning class as we will be peer editing during that time. Students are encouraged to work on this from home to ensure that the meet the deadline. All students should be using Google docs to complete this activity. Students who do not have access to a computer or internet at their homes are encouraged to ask for time during the school day (e.g. lunch or recess) to complete the task online.
