On Monday, we discussed the writing trait of organization. We learned how important organization is especially when writing an essay. We used the essay map at http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/essaymap/ to help us. I modeled the organization process for a 5 paragraph essay as well.
On Tuesday, the students were introduced to the Harris Burdick mysteries. http://www.hmhbooks.com/features/harrisburdick/ Students then starting planning a mystery story using the posters for inspiration.
Wednesday was silent reading day.
On Thursday, we finished writing out rough draft of the mystery stories.
On Friday, I treated them to a Halloween movie to help with inspiration for the stories.
