  23. 2nd reading: As we read… • I make a moving picture in my mind of the words I read. • This picture changes as I read more. • This picture helps me remember and better understand what I’m reading! • Use your double-entry diary to record what you visualize.

  24. Writing prompt • What if you had to live with all the trash you ever created? What if there was no garbage collection service to remove, hide away, bury all our waste? What if every water bottle, every Styrofoam take-a-way box, every milk jug, every cereal box we ever bought, we had to somehow dispose of in our own house or yard? How would your home look different? How would your buying choices change?

  25. Brainstorming: Disaster!

  26. Turning our thoughts into a full sentence. Expository writing (factual writing) uses a certain format: Topic Sentence Fact, Detail, or Reason Sentence Example, Explanation, Evidence Setence Concluding Sentence

  27. Green --- Go! Introduce your topic. • Yellow --- Slow down! Give a fact, detail, or reason. • Red—Stop! Explain yourself. • Green– Remind your reader of your topic.

  29. So my topic sentence for this writing prompt may be something like… • ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • If I had to live with all the trash that I ever created, my life would be a disaster!

  30. Then I would include a fact, detail, or reason • ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • My home would be very dirty.

  31. Then I would give an example or explain my f/d/r • _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ • There would be garbage outside on the lawn, and all over the floor.

  32. Let’s add another fact, detail, or reason. • ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  33. And then we have to explain this further. • ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

  34. And then we end in a concluding sentence which reminds our reader of our topic. • _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
