Unit 3: Authors as Mentors
Essential Questions:
| How can I use figurative language to improve my short story? Is my wording descriptive enough to "show" not just tell what's happening? |
Standard:
| W.1.a Write narratives to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective techniques, relevant descriptive details, and well-structured event sequences. (CCSS:W.6.3) R.1.b.i Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of a specific word choice on meaning and tone. (CCSS:RL.6.4) |
I will know I’m successful when...
| I can write a short story that contains vivid verbs, descriptive wording and figurative language. |
Mini-Lesson:
(What Mrs. Brownell is going to teach us) | Using literary devices and figurative language
