We are Family

Dear students,
Our blog is a place to write about different topics and share our ideas. Today you will have the opportunity to write about a special family member.

If you could spend an afternoon with one member of your extended family, who would it be? Please explain why you chose this person and tell what you would do together.
Your paragraph must…

• be at least 5 sentences long
• written in complete sentences
• use M.I.N.T.S.
• have a topic sentence and supporting details

Here is an example of an advanced/proficient  comment from a former student:
If I could spend a whole day with one family member, it would be my grandfather. Even though he is not alive, he is close to my heart. In the morning, we would eat ice cream and cake for breakfast. We would laugh and talk until Disneyland opened for the day. We would rush over and ride all of the rides non stop. I would wear a shirt that said, " Laugh more, Cry less!", and everyone would stop to compliment me. My grandfather, also known as Grandpapa, would be wearing a clown hat with shiny black wingtip shoes and a bright orange shirt. He would go around making people laugh, and he would be laughing himself. Then, we would go to the zoo and pet every single animal we could. When the guards weren't looking, we would feed the animals our cotton candy and chips. Finally, for dinner we would have bacon and bananas with Nutella. We would sit on a hill and watch the sun set. Then, we would rent a hotel room for the night, and spend as much money as possible! That would be my day with Grandpapa if I could spend one last day with him.

Happy blogging,
Mrs. Eads
