on our adventure stories.  Now that we have our introductions drafted and the majority of or main events, we can now revisit our writing with a critical eye.  With the help of peer feedback, we will make sure we have transition phrases to sequence events and show the passage of time, make sure we have exciting word choices, and add suspense.

By mid week, we hope to draft our conclusion paragraph.  This means students should be publishing by the end of the week.  Please keep in mind that the majority of all writing assignments are kept at school.  You will see Q1 writing at your parent/teacher conference.  Other pieces are sent home as students complete them.

Ask your student how his/her adventure is shaping up!
