Day 5 Creative Composers

Highlights: Today we learned about adding dialogue. The students worked in groups and created dialogue using their favorite movie characters. Of course the most popular was Harry Potter! We looked at the different ways to sue punctuation with dialogue next we learned about using senses details in our writing by closing our eyes and feeling, tasting, or smelling various items. We discussed the importance of showing the reader what it is like to be in our stories as if they are experiencing it along the way.

Camper Spotlight: Creative Composer Riki, says: I really liked the touching, smelling, and the eating lesson. I think it was interesting because it helped me put more details into my stories.
