Today in ELA we discussed how authors tell readers what time it is in their story. For example, in Tarma the author used phrases like, at dusk, in April, earlier in the day. After discussing this, the students were given a task to create a paragraph that followed a time line. Each student received the same frame work and were allowed to complete it with their own original ideas.
Each comment below is an example of what the students have written.
Enjoy....and please feel free to comment as well :)
