Reading: Today was a discussion day in Literature Circles. We also read some animal poetry today.
Writing: We talked more about writing complete scenes by mixing in talking, action, and visual details. We also talked about changing the beginning of sentences so they don’t all sound the same.

Homework is to work on writing for 15 minutes and to finish drafting if needed.
