but my third graders enjoy...
- Bring in a lovey and write a description (include at least 2 big ideas... i.e. appearance and how it's used)
- Interview a friend and write a piece (again include at least 2 big ideas like appearance and hobbies)
- Favorite places to read (2 ideas... i.e. descibe location and tell what makes it a good place to read)
- make "naked turkey" and write about disguise
- choose a favorite "hot spot" around town write about it (why it's your favorite, describe)
