  1. Today Mrs. Sapp and Ms. Clawson will be teaching together Hello Without talking to anyone, draw a line under the last thing in your Writer’s Notebook and draw this chart:

  2. SENTENCE FLUENCY crafting well-built sentences

  3. The TRAITS OF WRITING CONVENTIONS IDEAS ARE SENTENCE FLUENCY ORGANIZATION including including VOICE Finding a Topic Crafting Well-Built Sentences including WORD CHOICE Creating a Lead including Establishing a Tone including Applying Strong Verbs

  4. I wanted to get an iPod. I asked my dad for one. I asked over and over. I wanted an iPod very badly. I wanted it for my birthday. I waited until my birthday. I didn’t get an iPod that day. I was disappointed.

  5. I wanted an iPod so badly it was all I could think about, day and night. Imagine being able to tune out the world and listen to your music any time, anywhere. Sweet. I asked my dad if he’d get me one for my birthday, but I know it was a longshot. Money has been tight, so I was pretty sure it wouldn’t happen. I was right. My birthday came and went, and no iPod. I tried not to act disappointed, but my dad said, “Charlie, I know you really want that iPod. Come to the office with me the next three Saturdays and help out. I’ll pay you. And I’ll match what you save so you might get that iPod sooner than you think.” It wasn’t a lot of fun working on Saturdays when my friends were outside playing, but in the end, it was worth it. It took a month, but I now have my new iPod. It’s even better than I imagined.

  6. From Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen Caught up in anxiety, not wishing to cause problems with the race, I harnessed my dogs too soon, way too soon, and tied the sled off to the bumper of the truck. The difficulty with this was that I had pulled number thirty-two and with the dogs tied on the side, harnessed, and ready to go, waiting to go, crazy to go—every team going up to the chutes had to be taken past my team—they had to wait. Dogs do not wait well. An old Inuit belief states that dogs and white men stem from the same roots because they cannot wait, have no patience, and become frustrated easily, and it showed mightily then. (p. 141)

  7. Think About: • Do my sentences begin in different ways? • Are my sentences of different lengths? • Are my sentences grammatically correct unless constructed creatively for impact? • Have I used conjunctions such as but, andandso to connect parts of sentences?
