Stretching Out Our Small Moments!!

We are beginning to draft our Edge-of-your-seat Small Moments.

You can discuss these small moments at home. Here are a list of "small moment" qualities:

Small Moments:
- are personal narratives - stories about ourselves
- are written from the author's point of view
- describe one tiny piece of time
- use sensory details, similes, and personification

During drafting, students use timelines and other graphic organizers to sequence events and add details.

We will be publishing by Mid-October!!
