BellringerDescribe the following picture using detail. Create a brief story/explanation behind it.

Recap: We worked on adding further detail and description to our writing by completing an activity that asks you to describe doing something in a manner of steps.

1. Explain how to make a snowman.

2. Explain how to make a peanut butter and jelly.

Some had as few as 4 steps for each, while others used great care and detail, having as many as 16 steps for each. Imagine that you are explaining these things to people who have never done them. Where do you start? Where do you end? 

Homework: Setting the Scene for Your Writing has been shared with you. Please fill out the information asked, adding as much information for each as possible. This will help you to compose your second narrative about a time you overcame an obstacle. I noticed many of you left out necessary details in your previous submissions. This is meant to help ensure you provide all necessary details. 

Please stay safe in the snow, and enjoy your snow day!
